Deschamps reveals a novelty against Croatia

Didier Deschamps, France coach, revealed that this Monday against Croatia in Split, in a match corresponding to group 1 of League A of the Nations League, the ‘bleus’ starting goalkeeper will be the usual substitute Mike Maignan (Milan), who will relieve Hugo Lloris. In the absence of the Tottenham keeper and France captain, it will be Presnel Kimpembe who will wear the armband. France lost last Friday against Denmark (1-2).

Deschamps wanted to make it clear at a press conference held at the Poljud stadium the day before the match that Lloris is still the starter and that this rotation “was already planned”.

It will be Maignan’s third game with France, after his debut in a friendly against Ukraine in October 2020 (7-1 for the French) and his start in March against South Africa in Lille (5-0 for the ‘Bleus’). Lloris fully played all of France’s matches in 2021.

The French team’s third goalkeeper, Alphonse Areola, has played 3 games for France, the last one in June 2019. Due to the absence of Lloris and the vice-captain, Raphaël Varane, who is injured, it will be Kimpembe, PSG defender, the captain of the ‘bleus’ against Croatia this Monday in a reissue of the 2018 Russia World Cup final, won by Deschamps’ men.
