Colombia/France – The press's France XI: 3 PSG players start | OneFootball

This Sunday, the French national team will play a friendly against Colombia at 9 p.m. at Northwest Stadium. On the eve of the match, Le Parisien and L’Equipe tried to predict the lineup that coach Didier Deschamps will field. A match involving 5 Paris Saint-Germain players, all French: Lucas Chevalier, Lucas Hernandez, Warren Zaïre-Emery, Désiré Doué, and Ousmane Dembélé. Hernandez, Zaïre-Emery, and Doué are expected to start.

Le Parisien (4-2-3-1) –

L’Equipe (4-2-3-1) –

A very credible lineup, but nothing can be certain. Didier Deschamps has already managed to surprise with some of his choices for Thursday night’s match against Brazil, and there is even more uncertainty here since rotation is expected. It is difficult to know to what extent, depending on the players’ exact fitness levels and the competition for playing time.

The staff must try to rest certain players, especially since most of them have a demanding end to the season ahead, while also keeping the rest of the squad involved. All this while fielding a competitive team against a Colombia side that must be taken seriously. Even if the result is not the main thing in a friendly, confidence is always beneficial.
