Loic Bade replaces Dayot Upamecano in France squad due to injury

The October international break begins and in most European countries, they are preparing to play two matches corresponding to matchday 3 and 4 of the Nations League. In the case of France, Israel and Belgium will be their opponents respectively. 

The recent squad announced by Didier Deschamps made headlines with the notable absence of Kylian Mbappe, who decided to rest during these two weeks to fully recover from the recent muscle injury he had, despite having played as a starter in Madrid's win over Villarreal. 

Another case that is being talked about on social media is that of Dayot Upamecano, who reportedly suffered a hamstring injury in the 3-3 draw between Bayern and Frankfurt. It will be Loic Bade who replaces the German defender. 

The young Sevilla centre-back, who led Sevilla's defence in their win over Betis in the Seville derby, could play his first minutes with the senior team after representing France at the last Olympic Games.
