A month before the start of the women's handball Euro, Olivier Krumbholz has delivered a pre-selection of 28 players for this competition, which takes place in France (November 29 - December 16). The Brestoises Cleopatra Darleux, injured, Pauline Coatanéa, Allison Pineau and Pauletta Foppa are present in the list. This is also the case of Nantes Catherine Gabriel, Kalidiatou Niakate, Camille Ayglon Saurina and Blandine Dancette.
Olivier Krumbholz delivered a preselection for Euro 2018 without any surprises. Cleopatra Darleux, still injured, is present in the list at one month of the competition. Pauletta Foppa will have to wait to know the verdict of the injury of Laurisa Landre to claim to participate in this competition.
The coach of the world champions will have to give his list of 16 players the day before the first match and can make up to six changes during the Euro: two in the preliminary round, two before the main round and two last before the semi-finals.
