French U21 Squad Welcomes New Striker for Upcoming Matches

The French U21 national team, under the coaching of Gerald Baticle, is set to face Luxembourg and Serbia in upcoming international friendlies. In a surprising turn of events, Herba Guirassy, a striker for Nantes, has been added to the squad as a replacement for Jeremy Jacquet, who has prematurely left.

Guirassy, one of the novices in Baticle's squad, is known for his impressive performances in the Ligue 1. He has started in the first three matchdays for Nantes, delivering a decisive pass in their first victory last weekend against Auxerre, which ended in a 1-0 scoreline.

Baticle, who is starting a new cycle with the team, has called Guirassy up to the U21 squad for the first time. The striker will join the team directly in Lorient on Thursday, ahead of the match against Luxembourg on Friday.

Unfortunately, the squad will be missing Djaoui Cissé, who sustained an injury to his foot last Sunday in Ligue 1. Cissé, a 21-year-old forward, is not yet fully recovered from the injury, and will not be able to participate in the upcoming matches.

The France U21 squad's first match against Luxembourg will take place on Friday, with the second match against Serbia scheduled for three days later. The team is currently in high spirits, with Guirassy's addition providing a fresh boost of energy and talent.

Baticle's new cycle with the U21 squad promises to be an exciting one, with the team's young and talented players eager to make their mark on the international stage. With Guirassy's addition, the team is looking stronger than ever, and fans are eagerly awaiting the upcoming matches.
