This Friday, France make their debut against Ukraine in the European World Cup qualifiers, aiming to secure a spot in next year’s tournament, which will be held in the United States, Mexico, and Canada. Ousmane Dembele will not be in the starting eleven.
Minutes before kickoff, France confirmed their XI for the match in Ukraine, and Dembele was not included. Head coach Didier Deschamps decided to leave him on the bench, opting instead for a four-man attack featuring Desire Doue, Michael Olise, Bradley Barcola, and Kylian Mbappe.
