This Tuesday, the French national team will play a 2026 World Cup qualifying match against Iceland at 8:45 PM at the Parc des Princes. Three Paris Saint-Germain players, all French, are involved: Lucas Chevalier, Lucas Hernandez, and Bradley Barcola. Le Parisien published a probable lineup on Monday morning, with no PSG players in the starting eleven.
Probable lineup:
Thuram
Mbappé – Olise – Akliouche
Rabiot – Tchouaméni
T. Hernandez – Upamecano – Konaté – Gusto
Maignan
The chances of seeing PSG players start are limited due to the injuries of Désiré Doué (20) and Ousmane Dembélé (28). There could still be disappointment for Lucas Hernandez (29), who naturally hopes for significant playing time both at PSG and with France. This will likely come gradually over the season. Barcola might benefit from some rest after the physical issues faced by his teammates, while Chevalier is considered the backup goalkeeper.
It’s important to note that this is only a probable lineup. Nothing is official, and other choices remain possible. We will have to wait for confirmation, although media outlets are often accurate regarding Didier Deschamps’ selections. One interesting note: Kylian Mbappé is expected to change position.
