5:16 p.m.: Deschamps on the C1 finalists
“There is a period of consolidation for Aurélien. The others, it is not the same situation. There is fatigue. Ferland and “Cama” had no activity at the start of the week. They do not will not participate in today’s session like Adrien Rabiot (muscular), N’Golo Kanté (personal reasons).”
5:15 p.m.: Deschamps on the Tchouaméni-Kanté comparison
“First of all, it’s physical, I’m not telling you anything. We can’t always talk about a low point. They remain midfielders.
