France national team coach Didier Deschamps announced on July 14, 2026, that midfielder Aurélien Tchouaméni is available again after recovering from an injury. The 26-year-old Real Madrid player had been sidelined for several weeks due to a foot problem.
Deschamps stated during a press conference that Tchouaméni has returned to full training and is ready for selection. 'He is back with the group and has no limitations,' the coach said, confirming the player's availability for upcoming World Cup matches.
Tchouaméni, a key figure in France's midfield, missed the last two friendlies but is expected to feature in the squad for the knockout stages. His return bolsters France's options as they aim to defend their title.
