Ten days after the start of the preparation camp for the French team, Mathias Lessort still not recovered from his ankle injury. In care since the start of the rally, the new interior of the Pana will not be dressed to challenge Venezuela on Monday evening in Orleans.
As a result, Vincent Collet and his staff have called on an additional training partner, and it is Yoan Makoundou (2.07 m, 23 years old, 4 caps). The Monegasque joins the group in Orléans, and he is taking part in his first training session this Sunday. For the moment, it is not known who will be dressed for the two friendlies in Orleans since Makoundou is in competition with Hugo Benitez, Bodian Massa, Yves Pons, Matthew Strazel and Joël Ayayi.
At the end of the internship in Orleans, five of the six players will leave the group, and only one will remain sparring partner in Japan.
