Messi's ex-PSG mate, a France cap, set for Mauritania debut vs Argentina | OneFootball

The player who replaced Di María in his professional debut has now decided to stop representing the French national team and instead play for the country where he was born.

In the largely unfamiliar Mauritania national team that will face the Argentina national team this Friday at La Bombonera, in the first of the two friendlies Lionel Scaloni’s side will play during the FIFA international window, there is one footballer who has plenty to boast about.

It is Djeidi Gassama, a 22-year-old winger born in the modest town of Sélibabi who moved to France as a child and currently plays for Rangers in the Scottish Premiership. In 2022, the year the Scaloneta won the World Cup in Qatar, he went on to play two matches for the France national team, but at the Under-20 level. But he recently became convinced to represent the country where he was born, so he will make his debut for the Mauritania national team at Boca’s stadium.
