100 days before the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico (June 11 – July 19). A competition that will concern many Parisians.
Present in Didier Deschamps' squad during the last gatherings, Lucas Chevalier has lost many points since then. Indeed, the French international has become Matvey Safonov's backup at PSG and has not played a match since the encounter against AJ Auxerre (0-1) on Jan. 23. A relegation in the goalkeeper hierarchy that should impact his future with the France team.
Promoted to No. 2 goalkeeper for Les Bleus last autumn, the former LOSC player could pay for his lack of playing time at PSG. To date, the hierarchy of the first two is not debated: Mike Maignan and Brice Samba.
"Barring injury or failure of the Russian goalkeeper, the former Lille player should only play three or four matches by the end of the season. Insufficient momentum at this level of requirement," reports Le Parisien.
The PSG goalkeeper could thus not be called up for the next international break in March, during which the France team will face Brazil and Colombia, on March 26 and 29 in Boston and Washington. And his competitor, Alphonse Areola, does not reassure either, as he has not been a starter at West Ham for a few weeks.
In this context, a duel between Robin Risser (RC Lens) and Jean Butez (Como) is underway for the third goalkeeper role. "At this stage, the gap between the two men is slim, with perhaps a slight advantage to the Artesian goalkeeper." Didier Deschamps will reveal his list for the next international break on March 19.
France national team possible list:
- Goalkeepers: Maignan, Samba, Risser, or Butez.
- Defenders: Kounde, Malo Gusto, Saliba, Upamecano, Konate, L. Hernandez or W. Fofana, Digne, T. Hernandez.
- Midfielders: Tchouameni, Rabiot, Camavinga, Kone, Zaïre-Emery, Kante, Doue.
- Forwards: Mbappe, Dembele, Barcola, Olise, Cherki, Ekitike, Kolo Muani, M. Thuram or Mateta or Akliouche.
