Zinedine Zidane, France’s head coach, explained why he added forward Pablo Pagis to the squad for the November international break.
The French side will face Italy and Turkey in their Nations League fixtures later this month.
During a press conference after announcing the squad, Zidane, a Real Madrid legend, was asked why he selected Pagis.
“Okay. Pablo Pagis was selected tonight because we had a small issue with Maghnes Akliouche,” Zidane said. “He has a minor injury and won’t play this weekend. It’s as simple as that.”
The decision was made to cover for the injured PSG player, and the coach said the move was straightforward.
