Didier Deschamps' group sees a reinforcement land.
Nordi Mukiele, defender of RB Leipzig, was called by the coach of the France team to expand an already well-deprived sector;
and a little more since the expulsion of Jules Koundé against Bosnia on Wednesday evening: the right lane of the defense of the Blues.
The Sevilla defender will be suspended at least for the second game of the Blues, in Ukraine on Saturday (8:45 p.m.) as part of the qualifications for the World Cup-2022.
The Habs host Finland in Lyon on Tuesday to close this phase of the qualifiers.
"I do not see myself staying only with Léo Dubois to evolve in this position," Deschamps explained Wednesday evening.
Six selections in hopes
The usual holder of this post, Benjamin Pavard, is injured and has not been called up for the first rally since the early elimination in the round of 16 of the Euro.
Mukiele, who has 6 selections for the France Espoirs team, "will join the group in Strasbourg at the end of the morning" Thursday, on the eve of departure for Kiev, the FFF said.
