French team: Zidane returns to a full squad before adjusting his tactics
Zinedine Zidane was able to reunite all his players on Tuesday and is reportedly considering a return to a 4-3-3 system with Mbappé and Dembélé.
The French team had a full squad in training on Tuesday, after a first session played with only twelve players, according to France 24.
Coach Zinedine Zidane could take advantage of this full squad to make tactical changes. According to the available information, he would consider a return to a 4-3-3 system, with Kylian Mbappé positioned on the left of the attack and Ousmane Dembélé at the front, in the number 9 position.
This choice would mark an evolution compared to the system used during the first training session, where the small squad had limited the coach's tactical options.
Details on the opponent, date and context of the next fixture of the French team have not been specified in the available information. Further adjustments could still come between now and the next selection, as Zidane tests different attacking combinations with a now full squad.
