Team news & squads

France U17 team news

Just like his counterpart Bernard Diomede, coach Jean-Luc Rouxel has had to navigate this U-17 World Cup without several key names. With both Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 in full swing, a number of clubs chose to keep hold of their rising talents rather than release them for national-team duty in Qatar.

Nantes understandably held on to Tylel Tati, who has cemented himself as a starting centre-back for Les Canaris. PSG followed the same path with Ibrahim Mbaye, a youngster the club needs as they juggle multiple competitions. Saint-Etienne breakout star Djylian N'Guessan was also kept back, meaning he, too, did not make the trip to the Middle East.

Even so, the squad Rouxel does have has risen to the challenge. Metz prospect Believe Munongo and Troyes talent Christ Batola have both made their presence felt, with the latter grabbing the spotlight in France's opening match. Batola struck a gorgeous free-kick to break the deadlock in the 2-0 win over Chile, before Lyon winger Remi Himbert sealed the victory after halftime.

So far, those remain the only goals Les Bleuets have put on the board in Qatar. A cagey 0-0 draw with Canada followed, before a narrow 1-0 defeat to Uganda, a match decided by a single James Bogere strike. Remarkably, the group ended with all four teams locked on four points. France snatched top spot thanks to their +1 goal differential, with Canada also advancing courtesy of an even goal difference.

Colombia U17 team news

Freddy Hurtado's side is built almost entirely from domestic talent, with just one exception. The only player based abroad is Deivi Quinones, the No. 10 who plies his trade with LDU Quito in Ecuador.

Another name to keep an eye on is Santiago Londono, who bagged five goals during the South American U-17 Championship. Colombia made a strong run in that tournament, which doubled as World Cup qualifying, but ultimately fell short, losing the final to Brazil in a tense penalty shootout.
