Didier Deschamps’ naming of his squad to face Russia and the Netherlands surely isn’t the final word in terms of who will become a part of the group to participate in this summer’s European Championships, several players who were excluded and included this past Thursday may have a clearer idea of their summer plans.

With that in mind, here is this week’s Euro-Bleu Tracker, which largely focuses on players selected for the two matches, with an eye towards the security of their place in the squad.

Performing: 

N’Golo Kante, Leicester City (17/03/2016)

1 match played, 0-1 win at Crystal Palace, 90′ 

Another week, another 1-0 win for Leicester City as they chase a historic Premier League title. The kind of grit and focus that is needed to win close matches under pressure is ideal for a tournament setting, and the way that Leicester and Kante are going right now, the diminutive former Caen player has a great chance not only to be included but to be among Deschamps’ first choice eleven.

Kingsley Coman, Bayern Munich (17/03/2016) 

2 matches played, 4-2 win v Juventus, 60′, 1 goal, 1 assist, 0-1 win at FC Koln, 90′ 

Kingsley Coman, still just 19, continued his fine run of form, potentially demonstrating that, he, too, deserves a place in the starting eleven. With a fine cross for Thomas Meuller’s later equalizer in the Champions’ League and a sublime goal as well, Coman’s ability to be a force on the right wing means that his spot on the team is probably all but secure, especially given the magnitude of the match

Dimitri Payet, West Ham United (17/03/2016) 

1 match played, 2-2 draw at Chelsea, 90′, 1 assist 

While West Ham as a club must be kicking themselves for not being able to finish of Chelsea when they had the chance, a draw at Stamford Bridge is still a creditable result. The team now find themselves firmly in the grip of the race for fourth spot in the Premier League, and with it, Champions’ League football. Payet has been at the heart of much of the club’s success this season, and his combination of ability and versatility mean that Deschamps has been forced to welcome the player back into the fold, deservedly so.

Anthony Martial, Manchester United (17/03/2016) 

2 matches played, 1-1 draw v Liverpool, 90′, 1 goal, 1-0 win at Manchester City, 90′ 

The prolonged absence of Wayne Rooney would have given Anthony Martial a more prolonged run as a center forward, but for the emergence of fellow youngster Marcus Rashford. Rather than taking the academy product’s emergence as an affront, however, the young Frenchman he has generally responded with aplomb. Shaking off a hamstring injury that dogged him through February, Martial turned in industrious performances on the left wing, suggesting that he and Coman could well make Antoine Griezmann the senior member of Deschamps’ front three.

Samuel Umtiti, Olympique Lyonnais (n/a) 

1 match played, 2-0 win v Nantes, 90′

At this point Umtiti must be wondering what he has to do to become a member of the senior squad. With Jeremy Mathieu picked over the Lyon youngster, despite another creditable performance, there appears to be no clear path into Deschamps’ good graces, despite he and Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa finally looking like an accomplished center back pairing.

Underperforming: 

Lucas Digne, AS Roma (17/03/2016) 

1 match played, 1-1 draw v Inter Milan, 85′

Were Layvin Kurzawa to be less caustic, he would probably occupy this spot, given his talent far outweighs that of the form Lille player. That being said, Digne has quietly had a fairly consistent season in the Italian capital, and with a marked uptick in Roma’s form under Luciano Spalletti, his place is warranted. There still must be some trepidation, though, given Digne’s lack of experience and the age of Patrice Evra, but he is nevertheless the “safe” option here, barring some disastrous performance over the next week.

Christophe Jallet, Olympique Lyonnais (17/03/2016)

1 match played, 2-0 win v FC Nantes, on the bench 

Jallet hadn’t been in poor form before being sent off against Lille a month ago, and while he had battled injury as well, his substitute appearance against Guingamp seemed to signal an impending return. Lyon are in a fierce battle for the Champions’ League, and Jallet probably just about deserves his spot given his consistency since joining the team. That said, if he fails to reclaim his starting spot from Rafael, might Deschamps be forced to look at other options at the position?

Jeremy Mathieu, FC Barcelona (17/03/2016) 

2 matches played, 3-1 win v Arsenal, 90′, 2-2 draw at Villarreal, 35′, own goal 

It is perhaps unfair to lay too much blame at the feet of Mathieu for Barcelona’s dropped points at El Madrigal this weekend, and one can see the point of his inclusion should something happen to Patrice Evra, given his ability to deputize at left back. After all, is Deschamps really ready to trust Lucas Digne at a major tournament? That said, given Mathieu’s age, spotty form for Barcelona and the wealth of other, younger, options at center back, might the manager be better using this spot giving tournament experience to a younger player?

Yohan Cabaye, Crystal Palace (17/03/2016)

1 match played, 0-1 loss v Leicester City, 90′

While N’Golo Kante’s Leicester have hoovered up the headlines in England of late, another unfancied club has made a big move in the table. However, in Crystal Palace’s case, the move has been in the wrong direction, having failed to win a league match since successive victories over Stoke and Southampton in mid-December. Cabaye, so influential earlier in the season, has seen his star dim, his inclusion in the squad more down to his experience and creativity than his form at this point.

Morgan Schneiderlin, Manchester United (17/11/2015) 

2 matches played, 1-1 draw v Liverpool, on the bench, 1-0 win v Manchester City, 90′ 

A sure thing for the 23-man squad, and a contender for the starting eleven, the summer’s move to the bright lights of Old Trafford seemed the ideal tonic for Morgan Schneiderlin. Instead, the former Southampton player has repeatedly seen himself benched for the likes of an aging Michael Carrick. With the consistency that the likes of Lassana Diarra and Kante have showed this season, the door may have just about closed on Schneiderlin for the time being.

Speaking following PSG’s exit from the Champions League last night, captain and central defender Thiago Silva cast an uncertain picture over the future of the club.

“We have now been eliminated from the quarter finals four times. It is a shame. It is always like that, it hurts. We talk, we talk and still the same mistakes. It is difficult to have words. Many players are coming to the end of their contract. I do not know what is going to happen.”

Interim Lyon manager Bruno Génésio admitted tonight on BeIN Sports‘s Tribune Sports that he hopes to replicate Arsène Wenger’s Arsenal success with Les Gones.

“I would like to have an Arsène Wenger type of career at Lyon, that is for certain, to stay for 20 or 25 years at this club. It is the club that I love, the club the made me, the club where I grew up. I was born very near to the Gerland. I am aware of the uncertainty of the job. I think there are 13 managers who have not finished the Ligue 1 season… So obviously, I would like to have my entire career at Lyon, but it is the events that will decide all that.”

According to our colleagues at Goal France, Lyon striker Alexandre Lacazette is closer than ever to the departure door this summer.

They report that the player has been taking intensive English lessons in recent weeks and that his girlfriend has all of a sudden stopped looking for a job in the Lyon area, possibly suggesting that the player is headed away from Lyon this summer, specifically to England and the Premier League.

L’Équipe reported this morning that Manchester United are regularly surveilling Lacazette’s performances and he remains on a list of potential summer targets for the Red Devils, but that West Ham United, Atletico Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur are the three sides in pole position at the moment for the French international.

It is understood that several offers have been made for the player by some or all of those three clubs since the January transfer window…

Newcastle United, should they remain in the Premier League, may also fancy another go for the player after being turned down on numerous occasions last January.

Speaking in an interview with Ouest France, Rennes’s attacking midfielder Ousmane Dembélé has confirmed that he knows where his next destination will be and that he has turned Leicester City down.

“Yes, I spoke to Claudio Ranieri on the phone. I was surprised to hear from him, I told him that I will not be going to Leicester. His French is not very good… Now, I am think about the club where I will be going. I hope to play in the Champions League. I know where I am going, that is for certain.”

FC Nantes are understood to have drawn out the contours of a two year contract for René Girard as they search for a manager to replace Michel der Zakarian next season.

They initially approached Lens boss Antoine Kombouaré, only to be rebuffed by the Frenchman who is hoping to experience management abroad.

Jocelyn Gourvennec and Philippe Montanier are also individuals to have been contacted, but after meeting with Girard last week, Nantes appear to be pressing on for the former Montpellier manager.

While Les Canaris have not officially presented him with a binding offer, they are optimistic that Girard will respond favourably to their latest overtures.

The ball is in Girard’s camp, unless Nantes can strum up a better alternative between now and then.

According to Foot 365, Turkish side Trabzonspor have formally approached Rennes defender Cheikh M’Bengue about a possible free transfer this summer.

The former Toulouse left-back will be a free agent next month when his contract expires with SRFC.

Speaking to reporters in the mixed zone following PSG’s 4-0 victory over Nantes, Zlatan Ibrahimovic was as playful as ever.

“Don’t worry I will come back. I will come back and you will have something to write about, so don’t worry. They offered me to control the whole club. I told them that I still wanted to play football. They said whatever you want you will be offered, so I decide.”
