For the match against the Spanish, which will take place on August 31 in Clermont-Ferrand, three players were not retained by Corinne Deacon because of injuries. Elise Bussaglia, who ended her international career, was also not summoned.

The list of players retained by Corinne Deacon, coach of the French Women's Team, for the recovery of the Blue in a friendly match against Spain on August 31 in Clermont-Ferrand, reported Thursday. This is the first list unveiled by the coach since elimination in the quarter-final of its World Cup at home against the United States, future winners of the tricolor edition.

For the match against the Spanish, thirteenth in the Fifa ranking, Deacon has returned 19 of the 23 participants to the World Cup. Among the Blue, only the Dijon Elise Bussaglia, aged 33, with 192 selections, is absent. Goalkeeper Pauline Peyraud-Magnin, defender Eve Périsset and midfielder Maéva Clemaron, substitutes during the tournament, are missing.

Three new players

"The goal was to take back the 23 globalists, but I could not do it because Elise Bussaglia ends her international career" and because the other three "are wounded", justified herself Deacon in front of the press. This new deal benefits former Parisienne and Lyonnaise Kenza Dali, now in West Ham, who returns to the selection for the first time since October 2018.
