Robin Risser has withdrawn from the France squad after medical talks with RC Lens, with Jean Butez called up. According to L'Équipe, Zinedine Zidane loses a goalkeeper from his first list.

Risser is physically hindered and is believed to have a rib problem, so he will miss the camp and the new coach’s first four matches.
