The proteges of Corinne Deacon will challenge Estonia then Kazakhstan, two nations defeated during the first two days.
Renard wounded, Henry and Le Sommer not summoned
For this second rally of the year, Griedge M’Bock (muscle injury) and captain Wendie Renard who relapsed from his last injury will not be available. Amandine Henry and Eugénie Le Sommer were not summoned either. “The door is not closed to anyone, I make choices, the proof is with this list “. Deacon referred in particular to the return of Kheira Hamraoui two and a half years after his last selection. The PSG player has found an interesting playing time which partly explains her summons. But also to the young hope of French football, Naomie Feller, preferred in attack to Valérie Gauvin because not in great shape on the side of Montpellier. “I try to keep this balance between continuity / renewal but also experience and youth. It is perhaps the moment to launch a few young people. You have to trust”, underlined the coach in front of the media present at the press conference.
