While the final of the Euro will be played on July 14, the football tournament of Olympic Games will see its kick-off given on the 24th. If Kylian Mbappé is the big absentee from Thierry Henry’s list, the coach of Blueberries saw other elements being retained by their club, such as Lucas Chevalier Or Warren Zaire-Emery. But for the president of the FFF, Philippe Diallothese absences will not be a hindrance in obtaining good results.

Which leaves hope regarding Kylian Mbappéwho dreams of competing Olympic Games with the France : “ We will have the best team possible on July 3. We work a lot. First of all, Thierry Henry and his team: on a daily basis with French and foreign clubs. You need a form of serenity and not criticize too early: the list is July 3. Thierry Henry presented a list that was ‘virtual’, with players who can enter it and players who can leave it. Let’s wait until July 3 to see the final list that we will be able to present. I have a feeling we will have the best team possible on July 3. »
