First list of Patrick Vieira: These players who will regain their smile in the Tanière

Patrick Vieira, newly appointed coach of the Lions, will announce his first list of players on September 18. This list will kick off preparations for the CAN 2027 qualifiers, following a painful elimination at the 2026 World Cup. Kalidou Koulibaly and Pathé Ciss may not be included in this list, while Édouard Mendy has announced his international retirement. Players like Sadibou Sané and Lamine Sy could receive their first call-up.
