"He [Lloris] is a really good guy," said back-up goalkeeper Fraser Forster ahead of Tottenham's win against Portsmouth.

[The 35-year-old's agent took to Twitter on Boxing Day](/sport/football/article-11575299/Karim-Benzemas-bust-Didier-Deschamps-continues-agent-publishes-evidence-fit.html) to question why Deschamps had sent Benzema home in the first place, with three specialists confirming the forward would be fit from the quarter-final stage.

Meslier will need to prove his consistency if he is to put his name in the running for France’s number one position. At 23, he stands out as a young alternative to Lloris, but his lack of experience may prove pivotal in Deschamps’ decision making. For the 21-year-old, the future looks bright, and Deschamps would be mistaken not to pay attention to his progress. A first-team regular for Leeds since their return to the Premier League, he was instrumental in their 9th-place finish in 2020/21. With both the most appearances (145 caps) and the most appearances as captain (121) for any French player, Lloris has been a mainstay of the national team for more than 14 seasons. Maignan was poised to play at Qatar 2022 but suffered a calf injury in September that may continue to prevent his participation with Les Bleus.

When you approach a World Cup, you want to do it with your best players." I have really been thinking about it since the end of the World Cup, but there has been something deep inside of me for maybe six months now and which grew during the competition, leading me to make this decision." One of those was a report that the Tottenham captain didn't want Real Madrid striker and Ballon d'Or winner Karim Benzema in the squad. While that haul is impressive for many, he will perhaps be aggrieved by the fact he got so close to the famous World Cup trophy for a second time in his career. He was essential for 18 months, he helped us win the Nations League, his return would only have been positive. The shot-stopper had a 15-year stint with Les Bleus that ended with a World Cup and Nations League trophy.
