France coach Didier Deschamps has released the last squad list for France before World Cup, ahead of the two friendlies France will play against Brazil and Colombia on March 26 and 29 in the United States.
The list of 26 players includes staples like Kylian Mbappé, Ousmane Dembélé, Dayot Upamecano, and Ibrahima Konaté. One of the most surprising inclusions is Randal Kolo Muani, from Tottenham, benefitting from Bradley Barcola's absence due to injury, as well as Olympic silver medallist Maghnes Akliouche.
Another notable inclusion is Lucas Chevalier, PSG goalkeeper who lost the role of starting goalkeeper to Matvei Safonov, but has been chosen over Robin Risser from Lens and Jean Butez from Como.
