How will France line up at the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022?

Didier Deschamps, the head coach of the defending World Cup champions

, will be hoping that his team will join Italy (1934, 1938) and Brazil (1958, 1962) as the third nation to win consecutive titles.

They will be making their sixteenth participation in the World Cup, which they have twice won (1998, 2018).

Before they can win the cup, they must advance to the knockout rounds by beating Australia, Denmark, and Tunisia in Group D.

Given the firepower in their ranks, it shouldn't be too difficult for them to go through the group stages before facing off against more difficult opponents later on.

But whom will the coach bring to the field, and who will stay home and watch the game from their TVs?

GK: Lloris

is a French international who has played at the under-18, under-19, and under-21 levels for his country.

He led the squad for the first time in 2010 and was named the team's first-choice captain on February 28, 2012. He guided France to the 2014 FIFA World Cup quarterfinals, the UEFA Euro 2016 runners-up spot, and the 2018 FIFA World Cup victory in Russia.

Hugo Lloris appears to be Deschamps' top pick to man the goalposts. With the exception of injury worries, he is Tottenham Hotspur's indisputable starter. Thus there is no reason why he shouldn't be traveling to Qatar.

CB: Jules Kounde

Jules Koundé, a defender for Barcelona, played for France in the Nations League against Austria on September 22 and Denmark on September 25, respectively.

Jules Koundé was questioned about whether they will put more emphasis on World Cup preparation than UEFA Nations League performance during an interview with L'Équipe. Koundé acknowledged that he wanted the team to go after both awards in response to the query.

"These Nations League games are still competitive, and they'll help us get ready for the World Cup. I frequently hear that these contests weren't very helpful because of the numerous injuries. I do not agree. We must first maintain our hold. Then, it is always utilized to establish benchmarks and possibly test new things."

Based on this quote, he might be on the benches, but still, there is a high possibility that he would get on the field as the starting eleven.

CB: Varane

made his full international debut in March 2013 and had previously represented France at the under-18, under-20, and under-21 levels. He played every minute of every game as France won the FIFA World Cup in 2018, and he was a member of the France team in 2014 when he was nominated for the Best Young Player award.

He ought to be a member of the starting eleven considering his World Cup experience.

CB: L. Hernandez

During this international break, strong defender Lucas Hernandez is scheduled to continue to practice and compete with the French national team.

The French federation's medical staff evaluated the World Cup winner, and their findings clearly showed that he is in good health. The results of the medical professionals at Bayern Munich are the exact opposite of this.

However, given the depth of talent, they have available and their desire to keep Hernandez injury-free, it is perplexing to see the French federation insist that Hernandez not only undergo their examination but also train and play for France.

RWB: Benjamin Pavard

Benjamin Pavard should be the top candidate to fill the final defensive position on the other side. In addition to playing at UEFA Euro 2020, Pavard earned his debut for France in November 2017 and went on to win the 2018 FIFA World Cup and the 2020-21 UEFA Nations League.

CM: N'Golo Kante

Due to a meniscus injury that will keep him out of action for between 40 and 60 days after surgery, Paul Pogba is in a race against time to be ready for the World Cup.

readiness is also in doubt because of continuous fitness issues.

Although Deschamps still has a wide range of alternatives in midfield, the likely absence of two important players will be of worry.

But given how much his team needs him, we do believe Kante will make it to the World Cup.

CM: Eduardo Camavinga

In the most recent match between the France U21 team and the Faroe Islands, Eduardo Camavinga stood out with a fantastic goal. The World Cup in Qatar will take place in eight months.

The young Frenchman has the remainder of this season and the beginning of the following to persuade Didier Deschamps that he deserves to be at the tournament with his countrymen.

Camavinga has already participated in three games for the national squad, so he is familiar with the experience. Two of the games were against Croatia in the Nations League. In his other game, a friendly against Ukraine, he scored after just nine minutes on a bicycle kick.

LWB: T. Hernandez

Theo Hernandez and Ferland Mendy are the front-runners for the left-back position. Both of them are reliable choices at the back and often play for Milan and Real Madrid, respectively. However, we believe that Theo Hernandez will be a member of the starting eleven due to his readiness and experience.

CAM: Antoine Griezmann

Going into the FIFA World Cup in 2022,

may find that less is more. Due to a peculiar contractual disagreement with Barcelona, the France attacker has been playing sparingly for Atletico Madrid.

However, since his World Cup spot in Qatar is not in danger, he might be one of the few players to arrive fresh for the competition in November.

Griezmann might arrive at the World Cup in excellent physical shape, while the majority of players will be coming off a schedule of non-stop games brought on by the condensed calendar of a World Cup year if he continues to perform well without becoming fatigued.

ST: Karim Benzema

, a French international, made his senior debut for France in 2007 at the age of 19. He won the UEFA European Under-17 Championship in 2004.

Since then, he has amassed almost 90 caps, scoring in three of them and participating in four major competitions (2008, 2012, and 2020 UEFA European Championships and the 2014 FIFA World Cup). Given his background, he will most likely represent his team as a striker.

ST: Mbappe

keeps proving to be a reliable force for France. France sensed a noticeable void at the top of its formation after his injury against Denmark. As a result, the team slid to fourth place in their Nations League division. The PSG star restored a tie with a late equalizer after coming back into the game.

France relies on his regular lethality in front of the goal and with the ball heading into the World Cup. Unsurprisingly, Kylian Mbappé will be crucial for France at the 2022 World Cup.
