As usual, it is on a television channel that Deschamps will list the names of the players who will make up its squad during the next major international competition.

The sports daily suggests that the list of French world champions will be unveiled around 8:20 p.m., probably from the headquarters of the French Football Federation (FFF).

The list for the Euro should theoretically have 23 players, but several European coaches have pleaded for UEFA, organizer of the Euro, to expand the workforce, to mitigate any health risks such as positive tests for Covid-19.
