The U19 French team, led by Bernard Diomede, will play the Euro without Lafont or Guendouzi

The list of the French players summoned for the Under-19 Euro fell, this Thursday, at the very moment when the tricolor delegation flew to Finland, destination of the phase final (July 16-29). If Bernard Diomede will be limited to twenty elements, the coach has taken with him an additional player, striker Elie Youan.
