The return of Randal Kolo Muani to the French national team is not making everyone happy: his direct competitors, who were not called up, do not understand this choice, according to L’Équipe.
On Thursday, Didier Deschamps revealed his squad to face Ukraine and Azerbaijan… and decided to recall Tottenham striker Randal Kolo Muani, who has been struggling this season.
The coach justified this choice: “He was injured. He has been part of the group for a long time. He can play in several positions. As soon as he is fit, it makes sense for him to return.”

However, according to L’Équipe, this return is not sitting well with some entourages of offensive players. Several associates of Kolo Muani’s direct competitors are reportedly annoyed, deeming his call-up unjustified as he has yet to score with Tottenham in 7 matches and has just returned from injury. L’Équipe does not provide specific names regarding this silent “rebellion.”
In short: Deschamps has reinstated Kolo Muani in the hierarchy and is gradually repositioning his players, such as Lucas Hernandez or N’Golo Kanté… and there are already tensions behind the scenes.
