Call Ups for Sweden-France
Les Bleus will be traveling to Sweden for a friendly on August 20th, a game which will hopefully get the team ready for the World Cup qualifiers that will be starting soon.
There a lot of old faces on the squad, but there are also some players missing, including Franck Ribery and Francois Clerc, who are out injured, and Samir Nasri and Eric Abidal, who were dropped entirely. There is also no one named David Trezeguet on the list.
There are some new faces in the squad, such as Rod Fanni of Rennes (whom I don’t really know much about) and Yoann Gourcuff, the original “new Zidane.” Gourcuff’s presence is especially exciting because for many, he might be the playmaker that France have been looking for.
This game is also a good opportunity for the fringe players to prove themselves. Bakary Sagna, Hatem Ben Arfa, Gael Clichy, Mathieu Flamini, and Hugo Lloris have been handed lifelines, so it’ll be interesting to see how they take their chances.
