France coach Didier Deschamps has named his 26-man squad for the 2026 World Cup in North America. Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga and PSG goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier did not make the cut. Deschamps cited less game time and injuries for Camavinga and Chevalier’s loss of form since January. Deschamps praised Camavinga’s potential but said squad balance was key. He rewarded Lens keeper Robin Risser after a breakthrough season, slotting him in as third choice behind Mike Maignan and Brice Samba.
