Tchouaméni, K.O., the Frenchman will not be drafted for these matches

One of the most important players in the white squad this season is Aurélien Tchouaméni. The Frenchman has become a key pillar in the midfield for the merengue squad under Xabi Alonso as coach. Now it seems that things won't go entirely well regarding his participation with the national team, since he'll be left out of the international draft in October.

This is clearly good news for the merengue side, since they didn't expect to be able to count on a footballer of this caliber at that time. Now they'll be able to take even better care of his fitness and prevent any kind of injury that could keep him away from the club's midfield. However, there won't be a lack of activity in his daily routine, since training and preparations will continue even if he doesn't play with the national team.

He won't go in October

The French national team is one of the candidates to become world champion once again ahead of the 2026 World Cup in America. This player is a key piece for the coach of the French national team, serving as a pillar and playmaker in the midfield. He is also crucial for Alonso, who has just arrived and has seen the potential that Ancelotti once saw and trusted him with.

The October international break is always one of the most complicated for players, since it interrupts the season at a critical moment. In addition, that red card he recently received against Iceland has been the perfect excuse not to call him up. We've already seen this tactic in this same pattern of national teams, where Ancelotti avoided calling up several of the club's Brazilians.

Now it's the ideal opportunity to use this same tactic with some other footballers who already had this break and who might not be there for the next one. Clearly, this depends exclusively on the coaches of the respective national teams.

He can't get injured

What is clear is that, since he's such an important player, they have to take care of him as much as possible and keep him in playing rhythm to avoid injuries. A footballer of his caliber must always be prepared for the most challenging scenarios. Although some rest during these breaks from time to time doesn't hurt anyone at all, not even the fans.
