Olympionikes 25 Posted June 25, 2021 #31 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Surely but playing with third level player is not an option when you qualify for the biggest sport event in the world. I hope an answer will be find but I am very skeptical with french clubs. The federation select only one player from each clubs I guess they will try to defend that idea but it will difficult.

That would make the French federation look like idiots, surely they will be able to find 18 players. There is a preliminary list of 50 from which teams are supposed to select the 18 from but if they are given permission to select from elsewhere then yes, they can't withdraw.

I have news for you: half of the other teams are having the same problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobi 947 Posted June 25, 2021 #34 Share Posted June 25, 2021 I think we are lucky in Spain with this, because Spanish teams are forced by law to allow players to play for the national team, even if it isn't mandatory by FIFA. The final list will be published on Tuesday, but we will have a competitive team with several players that are participating in the EURO. Dani Olmo and Mikel Oyarzabal are a lock, while Eric García, Pau Torres, Unai Simón and Pedri still have chances to make it. Marco Asensio and Dani Ceballos from Real Madrid will be 2 of the 3 players over 24. Fabián Ruiz was going to be the other over-24 player, but Napoli didn't let him play, same case as Ferrán Torres (City), Rodrigo Hernández (City) and Borja Mayoral (Roma). heywoodu, Benolympique and LuizGuilherme 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently Barcelona has asked Pedri to refuse, but he is willing to play in Tokyo anyways. Barcelona isn't happy with that and they are trying to negotiate with the Spanish federation to liberate him. Let's see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
