Hervé Renard reveals final France squad for World Cup as three players cut | OneFootball

Two weeks on from the start of the team’s month-long training camp, France women’s team manager Hervé Renard has cut his initial 26-player squad for the World Cup down to a final list of 23.

Les Bleues take on Ireland tonight in their final friendly match before flying out to Australia on Friday. They will face the co-hosts of the tournament a week later, before kicking off their group stage against Jamaica on July 23. Also in Group F are Brazil and Panama.

PSG midfielder Oriane Jean-François has been forced to withdraw from the tournament as a result of an adductor injury. Goalkeeper Mylène Chavas (who in the meantime has signed for Real Madrid, from Bordeaux) and Aïssatou Tounkara have also been dropped from the team.
