Nine named by Didier Deschamps for 2026 World Cup to play European finals | OneFootball

According to L'Équipe, nine of the 26 players called up by Didier Deschamps for the 2026 World Cup, scheduled from 11 June to 19 July, will contest one of the three European finals.

Those players are set to feature in the Champions League final on 30 May at 18:00, the Europa League final on 20 May at 21:00, or the Europa Conference League final on 27 May at 21:00.

Bradley Barcola, Désiré Doué, Ousmane Dembélé, Lucas Hernandez and Warren Zaïre-Emery are finalists with PSG in the Champions League against Arsenal, where William Saliba also plays.

In the Europa League, Lucas Digne has a chance to be crowned with Aston Villa.

In the Europa Conference League, Maxence Lacroix and Jean-Philippe Mateta could deliver the first European trophy in Crystal Palace's history.

While these finals offer a chance to add to their honours, they also carry injury risk and are a concern for Deschamps. France assemble on 28 May, and open against Senegal on 16 June at 21:00.
