Deschamps Admits Camavinga Has 'Every Right To Be Upset' After 2026 Squad Snub

Didier Deschamps has named his final 26-man roster for the 2026 World Cup, confirming this will be his last tournament in charge of France. The big surprise was the omission of Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga. Deschamps pointed to Camavinga’s limited playing time in Spain and recent fitness setbacks as the main factors behind the decision. “I’m aware it’s tough for players who are regularly here,” Deschamps said, “but his season cost him his place.” He also stressed the fierce competition in midfield and praised Camavinga’s talent and future potential. As Les Bleus prepare warm-ups against Ivory Coast and Northern Ireland before heading to Group I matches, the coach acknowledged Camavinga “has every right to be upset” and remains hopeful about the player’s long-term contribution.
