the probable composition of the Blues

The French team will face Iceland on the road this Friday (20.45) to play an important match in the qualifiers of the Euro 2020. Two teams opposed this Wednesday to Clairefontaine during a final training before flying off in Iceland. Didier Deschamps has set one of them in 4-4-2, which should begin this Friday for the meeting at Laugardalsvöllur stadium in Reykjavik.

Hernandez should hold his place

As announced by Deschamps in a press conference, Steve Mandanda will be the number one goalkeeper of this October rally in the absence of his traditional captain Hugo Lloris. In defense, no surprise or almost Clément Lenglet and Raphaël Varane in central hinge will be accompanied by Benjamin Pavard and Lucas Hernandez. If there was uncertainty about the former Atlético de Madrid player, because of a knee injury pointed by Bayern Munich, the 23-year-old should take his place.

In the middle, N'Golo Kanté is back and will evolve logically with Corentin Tolisso. Little surprise, Blaise Matuidi should again troubleshoot on the left side. On the right is Kingsley Coman, winner of the last rally. At the forefront, Olivier Giroud keeps the confidence of Didier Deschamps despite a weak playing time with Chelsea. Antoine Griezmann, unsurprisingly, will accompany him in attack.

The device of Didier Deschamps is to be confirmed this Thursday in Reykjavik during the last training (20h) of the Blues.

The probable composition:

Mandanda – Pavard, Varane, Lenglet, Hernandez – Tolisso, Kante – Matuidi – Coman – Giroud, Griezmann.
