Deschamps: Milan goalkeeper Maignan will captain France in next game against Iceland

Football

"L'Equipe" reported that French team coach Deschamps confirmed that AC Milan goalkeeper Maignan will serve as the team's captain in the next World Cup qualifier against Iceland due to the absence of captain Mbappe due to injury.

Deschamps explained this decision in an interview with the show. He pointed out that in the last 3-0 victory over Azerbaijan, when Mbappe left the field due to injury, Maignan immediately took over the captain's armband, so this appointment is logical. Deschamps said: "Maignan will serve as the captain. When Mbappe came off the field, he took over the armband."

It is worth mentioning that this will be the first time Maignan has played as captain at the beginning of the game since he has represented the French team 36 times.
