Certainly, Kheira Hamraoui left after a thigh injury on Wednesday evening during the qualification of PSG for the semi-finals of the Champions League, at the expense of Bayern Munich. But for Corinne Deacon, the absence of the Parisian midfielder from the list of the France team communicated this Thursday, “is not linked to that”.
With this notable exception, the coach unveiled a stabilized group of 23 players with a view to the two qualifying matches for the 2023 World Cup, in Wales then against Slovenia on April 8 and 12, with the possibility of winning a ticket. for the World Cup.
Returning in extremis in February despite the turmoil following his attack in November and persistent tensions with his teammates Marie-Antoinette Katoto and Kadidiatou Diani, Hamraoui is therefore this time left aside. Uncertainty persists about his chances of appearing in the next list, that of the Euro in England scheduled for July 6 to 31.
Henry and Le Sommer still absent
Former captain Amandine Henry, yet operational in Lyon, is also dismissed, unsurprisingly, like OL striker Eugénie Le Sommer, absent for a year and injured since mid-March. In the middle, it is the Bordelaise Ella Palis (4 selections) who benefits from these sidelines.
In attack, the coach has systematically laid down the names of Katoto, Diani, Delphine Cascarino, Melvine Malard and Sandy Baltimore for a few months. Interesting in February, the versatile Clara Matéo (Paris FC) also hits the right wagon, unlike Valérie Gauvin, downgraded to Everton.
