Fans of the French national team will see a somewhat unusual squad composition.

It has been officially announced that in the Nations League matches on October 10 and 14, the team will not include forward Kylian Mbappe, who has been given time to recover from an injury suffered at Real Madrid.

Furthermore, in the matches against Israel and Belgium, coach Didier Deschamps will not rely on the services of midfielders Adrien Rabiot and N'Golo Kante.

The vice-champions of the planet will also be without Antoine Griezmann, who has retired from the national team.

French squad:

Goalkeepers: Alphonse Areola, Mike Maignan, Brice Samba;

Defenders: Jonathan Clauss, Lucas Digne, Wesley Fofana, Theo Hernandez, Ibrahima Konate, Jules Kounde, William Saliba, Dayot Upamecano;

Midfielders: Eduardo Camavinga, Youssouf Fofana, Matteo Guendouzi, Manu Kone, Aurelien Tchouameni, Warren Zaire-Emery;
