Didier Deschamps, the coach of the French national team, has revealed his selection of 26 players for the upcoming World Cup. Notably absent from this list are Juventus players Pierre Kalulu and Marcus Thuram. Both were considered potential candidates, but the French tactician has opted for other options.
The full squad features a mix of established stars and emerging talents. Among those called up are key figures such as Theo Hernandez, Adrien Rabiot, Kylian Mbappé, and Marcus Thuram (the latter being the brother of the excluded Juventus player, adding another layer to the selection). The decision to leave out Kalulu and Thuram from the Juventus contingent signals a strategic choice by Deschamps as he finalizes his squad for the prestigious tournament.
