FULL LIST | Didier Deschamps reveals France’s squad for March US Tour

Didier Deschamps revealed his squad for France’s camp for the March international break this Thursday afternoon . Les Bleus will get an early feel of America before the 2026 World Cup with a couple of friendly games held on the Eastern seaboard.

First, Les Bleus will face Carlo Ancelotti’s Brazil at Foxborough’s Gillette Stadium on Thursday 26 March. Then, France will play Colombia at Landover’s Northwest Stadium on Sunday 29 March.

Deschamps has called up 26 players for this US tour. Jules Koundé is not of them as the Barcelona right-back is not yet back from a thigh injury, which benefits Juventus’ Pierre Kalulu. After missing out on the last international break, Real Madrid’s Aurélien Tchouaméni is back in the international fold.

Up front, where Deschamps is spoiled for choices, PSG winger Bradley Barcola is absent after sustaining a severe right ankle ligament sprain. His PSG teammate Désiré Doué gets the nod.
