The group finally unchanged
This group of 20 players is exactly the same as that present at the Maison du Handball, in Créteil, since the replacement of Elohim Prandi by Jean-Jacques Acquevillo. A list which will see Hugo Descat participate in his first international competition with the Blues, he who had not been selected for seven years. The executives, including Captain Michaël Guigou, will be there. Apart from Hugo Descat and Jean-Jacques Acquevillo, Aix center-half Nicolas Claire is the only name out of the ordinary, which is linked to the absence of Nikola Karabatic, sidelined for several months and absent. from this list. The group of sixteen players designated will be able to evolve with five changes authorized throughout the World Cup, excluding those potentially caused by an infection by the coronavirus.
