For the international window of October, Didier Deschamps could surprise his world, with in particular the recall of Alphonse Areola among the Blues.
A month after their first major reunions of the season, the Blues are about to meet again in October. Committed to the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup, the French team is preparing to compete two new games, respectively against Azerbaijan on the 10th, and Iceland on the occasion, Didier Deschamps could recall old elements.
Last weekend, Florian Thauvin said his desire to find the Blues with whom the title of world champion was looked for in 2018. On the guards’ side, a comeback also seems to take shape. Less in verve for several weeks with the Stade Rennais, Brice Samba could give in her place as a third goalkeeper. And according to RMC, it is Alphonse Areola who could take advantage of it.
If Mike Maignan and Lucas Chevalier are well installed in the first two places in the hierarchy of the tricolor doors, there is therefore an uncertainty for the third post. Selected for the first time with the Blues on September 6, 2018 during a draw against Germany (0-0), Alphonse Areola was then regularly summoned.
Several surprises among the Blues?
But its history with the French team has set out on break and the West Ham porter was no longer seen with the selection since September 25, 2022, during a Ligue des Nations lost match against Denmark (2-0).
Three years later, the PSG former now aged thirty-two years old could be recalled by Didier Deschamps? In any case, the door seems to open again for him. If her return would be like a little surprise, not sure she is the only one that the coach could book for this October rally.
