ShareFrance may have two surprise omissions, but Didier Deschamps has still named a strong 26-man squad for the upcoming World Cup.Eduardo Camavinga and Randal Kolo Muani have been omitted from France's World Cup squad, with Didier Deschamps naming a strong 26-man party for his final tournament.Deschamps will be leaving his role as France's head coach at the end of the tournament, having led the team to the World Cup title in 2018.He also led Les Bleus to the finals of the World Cup (2022) and Euros (2016), where they finished as runners-up.Camavinga was the biggest surprise omission from Deschamps' squad, having struggled for Real Madrid this season. He has made just 23 starts across all competitions in 2025-26.Kolo Muani has similarly struggled at Tottenham, who are fighting a relegation battle in the Premier League, and though he played a key role in France's last two major tournaments, he will play no part this summer."I'm well aware that many of these are my last moments," Deschamps said in a press conference after announcing his squad."It's a unique feeling. I tend to hide my emotions, especially in press conferences where every word can be misinterpreted. But I'm handling it well."What's been done is behind us and done rather well. Otherwise, I wouldn't be here after 14 years."Now all my energy is focused on this World Cup. Important decisions regarding the squad list, and then others with the Federation to ensure we're in the best possible conditions."It's a group. Not necessarily the 26 best. It's about balance, combinations. We have elements that you may not have."Some players won't play; others will play little. The objective is not to lose anyone. You need human skills to live through these moments."There are 13 players who will be experiencing their first World Cup, with Robin Risser and Maxence Lacroix among those after receiving surprise call-ups.Unsurprisingly, Deschamps has a wealth of attackers at his disposal, even without the injured Hugo Ekitike, as captain Kylian Mbappe prepares to lead them once more.But Ousmane Dembele, Desire Doue, Michael Olise, Rayan Cherki and Marcus Thuram are also among the forwards after impressive campaigns for their clubs.France will face Ivory Coast and Northern Ireland in pre-tournament friendlies before opening their World Cup campaign against Senegal on June 16.France squad in full:Brice Samba (Rennes), Mike Maignan (AC Milan), Robin Risser (Lens), Malo Gusto (Chelsea), Maxence Lacroix (Crystal Palace), Jules Kounde (Barcelona), Lucas Digne (Aston Villa), Ibrahima Konate (Liverpool), William Saliba (Arsenal), Dayot Upamecano (Bayern Munich), Lucas Hernandez (Paris Saint-Germain), Theo Hernandez (Al-Hilal), Rayan Cherki (Manchester City), Aurelien Tchouameni (Real Madrid), Adrien Rabiot (AC Milan), N'Golo Kante (Fenerbahce), Maghnes Akliouche (Monaco), Manu Kone (Roma), Warren Zaire-Emery (Paris Saint-Germain), Ousmane Dembele (Paris Saint-Germain), Bradley Barcola (Paris Saint-Germain), Jean-Philippe Mateta (Crystal Palace), Marcus Thuram (Inter), Desire Doue (Paris Saint-Germain), Kylian Mbappe (Real Madrid), Michael Olise (Bayern Munich).France may have two surprise omissions, but Didier Deschamps has still named a strong 26-man squad for the upcoming World Cup.Eduardo Camavinga and Randal Kolo Muani have been omitted from France's World Cup squad, with Didier Deschamps naming a strong 26-man party for his final tournament.Deschamps will be leaving his role as France's head coach at the end of the tournament, having led the team to the World Cup title in 2018.He also led Les Bleus to the finals of the World Cup (2022) and Euros (2016), where they finished as runners-up.Camavinga was the biggest surprise omission from Deschamps' squad, having struggled for Real Madrid this season.
