Quentin Merlin will not participate in the Euro Espoirs (from June 21 to July 8 in Georgia and Romania). Injured in a calf during the last day of Ligue 1 against Angers (1-0), the side of FC Nantes had to forfeit the tournament. To replace him, Bleuets coach Sylvain Ripoll called on Stéphanois Niels Nkounkou.
The twenty-three players selected have an appointment Thursday at Clairefontaine to begin their preparation. Before flying to Romania where they will be opposed in the group stage to Italy, Norway and then Switzerland, they will play a friendly match against Mexico on June 16 (6:30 p.m.) at the Stade des Alpes in Grenoble.
