While France is challenging Lithuania tonight in Orléans (live on France 4 and BeIN Sports 1), Vincent Collet will have to compose without his attacking leader, Evan Fournier. According to the press release from the Federation, the rear of the Blues has ” slightly sprained ankle in game against Venezuela“, and he will be spared for this shock against the teammates of Jonas Valanciunas.
To replace him in the 12, the coach draws again from the group of “training partners”, and he opted for Joel Ayayi, of which this will be the first selection. In our columns, the new rear of Nanterre explained his qualities to us: “The creation in attack and my versatility. Whether I play in 1, 2 or 3, I can bring in different registers ». A very different profile from Fournier and it will be interesting to watch the choice of Collet to support Nando De Colo at the back.
The choices are not lacking with Elie Okobo for scoring needs, or Yakuba Ouattara and Terrence Tarpey to strengthen the defensive sector.
