Corentin Tolisso Expresses Disappointment Over World Cup Omission

Lyon midfielder Corentin Tolisso said he is disappointed after being omitted from France's squad for the upcoming World Cup in North America. The decision was made by national team coach Didier Deschamps. The comment followed Lyon's 0-4 loss to Lens in the final Ligue 1 match on Sunday 17 May. The defeat marked the end of the domestic season before the World Cup squad was announced. Tolisso is a French international who has previously represented the national team in major tournaments. His experience includes several caps for France at senior level. Didier Deschamps confirmed that Tolisso would not be part of the World Cup roster, leaving the midfielder out of the 26-man list. The coach's selection criteria were not detailed in the statement. Tolisso publicly expressed his disappointment, emphasizing his desire to contribute to the national side. He did not elaborate on the reasons for his exclusion. The player will now focus on his club duties with Lyon as the season prepares to continue. Lyon will look to rebuild after the heavy defeat to Lens. France's World Cup squad will travel to North America without Tolisso, aiming to compete in the tournament starting later this year.
