Lucas Chevalier and Randal Kolo Muani in France's final squad before the World Cup

Didier Deschamps on Thursday named France's final squad before the World Cup, including Lucas Chevalier despite the goalkeeper losing his starting spot at PSG. Randal Kolo Muani and Maghnes Akliouche are in after Bradley Barcola withdrew with a right ankle problem. This is the last camp before the tournament, which runs from 11 June to 19 July.

France will face Brazil on 26 March in Boston, then Colombia on 29 March in Washington during a United States tour.

Chevalier has been displaced at PSG by Matveï Safonov, yet he is preferred to Robin Risser and Jean Butez for this window.

Deschamps has picked 26 players, the FIFA maximum for the World Cup, with nine forwards named. Kolo Muani scored on Wednesday against Atlético de Madrid in the Champions League, 3-2, while Marcus Thuram is included despite one goal in the past two months.

Akliouche, called up consistently since September, keeps his place in attack.
