The suspense is over! On the set of France's TF1's JT programme, Didier Deschamps revealed the names of the 25 players who will be in Germany for the forthcoming Euros.
The presence of Kante comes as a huge surprise, far less than the expected Bradley Barcola. The coach has also included Mike Maignan, Aurelien Tchouameni and Kingsley Coman, who are still doubtful.
The final list will be sent to UEFA on June 7th.
Seeded in Group D, France will face Austria (June 17th), the Netherlands (21st) and Poland (25th).
