The French national team announced through their official channels that Olympique Marseille's Jordan Veretout will replace Ferland Mendy, who has a tibia injury, for the matches against Gibraltar and Greece.

After the end of the season at club level, it is the turn of the national teams. France are one of the teams that will play two matches in the qualifiers for next year's European Championship.

'Les Bleus', who have already announced their squad for the matches against Gibraltar and Greece, informed Thursday of the absence of Ferland Mendy, who has a tibia injury.

The player is left out of the squad for these matches and his place will be taken by Veretout, Olympique Marseille midfielder.

Journalist Andres Onrubia reported that Deschamps has decided to call up a midfielder so that Camavinga, if Theo Hernandez is injured, can play at left-back.

Mendy continues to be cursed by injuries. The full-back has only made 28 appearances this season, 25 of them starts, in which he has provided 1 assist.
