France have announced their squad for the upcoming Euro 2024 tournament with three current Chelsea players left out of the squad.
On Thursday night, Didier Deschamps named his final 25-man squad for this summer’s European Championships and there were some surprising inclusions and omissions.
Chelsea legend N’Golo Kante was shockingly recalled to the France squad for Euro 2024 while Malo Gusto, Axel Disasi and Christopher Nkunku were snubbed.
While Christopher Nkunku has been injured for most part of the season, Axel Disasi has not been consistent with her performance. However, Gusto has been one of the Premier League’s best right-back’s this season.
Over notable players snubbed from the squad include Mo Simakan, Jean Clair Todibo, Matteo Guendouzi and Moussa Diaby, as well as Crystal Palace duo Jean-Philippe Mateta and Michael Olise who have been in sensational form.
Kylian Mbappe will be leading the French national team to the EUROs as he’s set to captain his country at a major finals for the first time.
The PSG forward was key when France won the 2018 World Cup, as was Kante but the midfielder has not played for his national team since the summer of 2022.
