Gérald Baticle, France Espoirs’ team’s winner, released the list of players selected for the September rally. This list includes young talents ready to face Luxembourg on 5 September as part of the Euro 2027 playoffs. Next, Team U21 Habs will have a friendly match against Serbia on September 8. The composition of this team is rich in young players playing in prestigious clubs, with representatives of Olympique Lyonnais, Paris FC, Stade de Reims, and English clubs such as Tottenham and Burnley FC. The list is divided into guards, defenders, field media and attackers, illustrating the depth and potential of this generation.

The announcement of this list comes in a context in which Didier Deschamps, a French A team player, also unveiled his list for the next games. One notable point is the absence of Corentin Tolisso, despite his remarkable performance since the beginning of the year. Didier Deschamps explained this decision at a press conference, stressing that Tolisso is closely followed by the Blue Staff and that he still has to prove that he deserves his place on the team. The breeder expressed his satisfaction with Tolisso’s performance at the club level, while noting the strong competition in the midfield position.

The team from France Espoirs is therefore starting a new preparatory phase with this September rally. The matches against Luxembourg and Serbia are important opportunities to evaluate young players and refine the team’s strategy. The technical staff is attentive to the progress of each player and their ability to adapt to international requirements. The absence of Corentin Tolisso underscores the difficulty of the choices for Didier Deschamps and the need for young talents to surpass themselves to get their place on the French team.
