Overview
- Deschamps unveiled the list on TF1 on Thursday night, naming goalkeeper Robin Risser, defender Maxence Lacroix and striker Jean‑Philippe Mateta as the surprise selections.
- Lucas Chevalier lost the No. 3 goalkeeper role to Risser after a long spell on the bench and an injury, while Eduardo Camavinga and Randal Kolo Muani were left out following uneven club seasons.
- Mateta took the spot opened by Hugo Ekitike’s Achilles rupture, and France will tune up with Ivory Coast on June 4 in Nantes and Northern Ireland on June 8 in Lille before moving to a Boston base.
- Netflix released a documentary on the 2010 Knysna crisis that includes excerpts from Raymond Domenech’s private journal with harsh remarks about players and a theory that Franck Ribéry unknowingly seeded the locker‑room leak.
- Domenech posted a lengthy rebuttal on X attacking the film’s editing and ethics, saying producers broke a promised right of review and describing the result as a hateful hit piece.
