Report: Olympique de Marseille Players Elye Wahi and Adrien Rabiot Pre-Selected for France Squad
The French newspaper L’Équipe has reported that two players from Olympique de Marseille, Elye Wahi (21) and Adrien Rabiot (29), are being considered for Didier Deschamps’s upcoming France squad.
Struggling Start for Wahi at Marseille
Wahi has faced challenges in making a significant impact since joining his new team from RC Lens over the summer. Despite scoring only once, during Marseille’s 5-1 opening-day victory over Stade Brestois, Wahi is still regarded as a promising talent in French football. If selected in the final squad, Wahi could present Deschamps with new options in the striker position.
Rabiot’s Situation
In contrast to Wahi, Rabiot was part of France’s starting lineup when they were knocked out by Spain in the Euro semi-finals on July 9th. Since leaving Juventus after his contract expired, Rabiot struggled to find a new team and only recently joined Marseille, missing both pre-season and the start of the 2024/25 campaign. Plans were in place to hold off on using him until after the international break, with hopes that he would not be selected for France so he could continue training with the club. However, Rabiot has been included in Marseille’s squad for their upcoming match against RC Strasbourg Alsace on Sunday.
The possible selection of these two players represents an interesting development to keep an eye on as they navigate challenges at their respective clubs before potentially representing their country at an international level.
