On Tuesday night, top French players like as Chelsea midfielder N’Golo Kante will be available for selection, while Paris Saint-Germain superstar Kylian Mbappe has been cleared of an ENT infection.
Top French players such as Chelsea midfielder N’Golo Kante will be eligible for selection on Tuesday night, and Paris Saint-Germain superstar Kylian Mbappe has now been certified to have recovered from an ENT infection.
“He (Mbappe) is much better, he will be there on Tuesday,” France coach Didier Deschamps said as per ESPN h/t TF1.
Kick-off is at 21:15 SA time.
Meanwhile, Bafana coach Hugo Broos has indicated that Nyiko Mobbie and Fagrie Lakay will be given the opportunity to’show their qualities’ against France.
“There will be a different team. There will be 11 other players. It will be a different team because before this camp I said that I will give every player some minutes,” Broos told Safa media.
“So we started in the game against Guinea. We will do the same thing against France. There will be new players again. Mobbie was not there, Lakay was not there, so they will play against France for sure because I want to give them a chance to show their qualities.”
