It's time for the international break. And who says truce means return of Nations League matches for European countries. This Thursday evening, the French team faces Israel at the Stade de France as part of the 5th day of the competition.
Second in group 2 with 9 points behind Italy, the French team must win in this meeting to stay in contact with Italy in the standings. A success would allow Didier Deschamps' men to put themselves in the best possible position before the confrontation against the Italians on November 17. The Blues won the first leg with a score of 4 goals to 1 on October 10.
On the other hand, Israel is in last place in the group with zero points to its credit. The Israelis will aim to unlock their score against the Tricolores.
Information on the French team and its injured:
There has been movement in recent hours within the France group: Ousmane Dembélé and Wesley Fofana, both injured, had to give up their place to Kingsley Coman and Benjamin Pavard for this gathering. Lucas Chevalier, for his part, is experiencing his first moments in Blue.
Starting XI : Maignan – Koundé, Saliba, Conate (or Upamecano), T. Hernandez – Camavinga, Kante – Kolo Muani, Barcola, Olise – Nkunku.
Information on Israel and its wounded:
Nothing to report within the Israel group for this game against the France team.
Starting XI : Glazer – Baltaxa, Nachmias, Feingold – Haziza, Kanichowsky, Abu Fani, Adada – Gloukh, Peretz – Madmon
As in the first leg on October 10, the France team will face Israel in this Nations League meeting. Didier Deschamps' men will do the job by scoring many goals.
Randal Kolo Muani will once again show that he is a different player when he wears the Blues jersey. Decisive against Belgium with a double, the PSG striker will do it again and allow his team to seek victory.
The Tricolores' defense will be solid at the Stade de France against Israel. As is often the case, Mike Maignan will have a strong match and shine. The Milan goalkeeper will stand out at key moments of the match and keep his clean sheet.
