Six Bleus from PSG and Arsenal to join Clairefontaine on Tuesday ahead of World Cup | OneFootball

Five PSG players named in France's 26 for the World Cup and Arsenal defender William Saliba will report to Clairefontaine on Tuesday morning, completing the squad for camp. According to L'Équipe, the six were on opposite sides in the Champions League final.

The PSG quintet Ousmane Dembélé, Désiré Doué, Bradley Barcola, Lucas Hernandez and Warren Zaïre-Emery arrive as newly crowned European champions, while Saliba comes in after defeat with Arsenal. The fully assembled squad is due to welcome President Emmanuel Macron around midday.

On Sunday, Jean-Philippe Mateta and Maxence Lacroix, who had checked in the previous day at the château, completed initial running under fitness coach Cyril Moine. Alongside, the other 18 players worked in small-sided games.

France are building up gradually, though some already looked sharp, notably Adrien Rabiot and Michael Olise during the session. Earlier, Aurélien Tchouaméni said the group are eager to get going.

The World Cup runs from 11 June to 19 July.
