Kolo Muani’s Presence Frustrates Some of His Teammates in the French National Team

Didier Deschamps announced his squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Ukraine and Azerbaijan on Thursday. Notably, he has called up Randal Kolo Muani, who is currently with Tottenham. “He was not available before due to injury during the last gatherings. He has been part of this French group for quite some time, thanks to his contributions. He can play in various positions and is well-acquainted with the squad. Now that he’s fit again, it makes sense for him to rejoin us,” explained the national coach.

As reported by L’Équipe, Kolo Muani’s return to the national team has not been well-received by everyone. The report states that the representatives of some of his offensive competitors are unhappy about his inclusion and have expressed their discontent with Deschamps’ choice. This season, the Tottenham player has yet to score under his new colors, having played a total of 7 matches, hampered by injuries.
