France-Israel: Official Line-Up for the League of Nations Match
The French national football team, known as the Blues, has officially announced its line-up for the upcoming match against Israel in the League of Nations. N'Golo Kanté will lead the team as captain, marking a significant moment for the midfielder who plays for Al-Ittihad. The match is scheduled for Thursday evening at 8:45 p.m. at the Stade de France.
In the midfield, Kanté will be joined by Real Madrid's Eduardo Camavinga and the promising young talent Warren Zaire-Emery, who is making his sixth appearance for the national team. Zaire-Emery, currently in form with Paris Saint-Germain, is expected to make a notable impact alongside his teammates.
The attacking trio will feature Randal Kolo Muani at the forefront, supported by Bradley Barcola, the top scorer in the French Championship, and Michael Olise on the right wing. This match presents a crucial opportunity for Olise to showcase his skills after a slow start in international play.
Defensively, the team maintains a traditional setup with Mike Maignan in goal, supported by Jules Koundé and Théo Hernandez as full-backs. The central defense will consist of Dayot Upamecano and Ibrahima Konaté, who have been preferred over William Saliba for this match.
The complete line-up for the Blues is as follows: Maignan - Koundé, Upamecano, Konaté, T. Hernandez - Zaire-Emery, Kanté (c), Camavinga - Olise, Kolo Muani, Barcola.
