He will be joined by the versatile Riyad Mahrez, known for his dribbling ability and set-piece expertise, providing creativity from wide positions. In midfield, the selection committee has entrusted the anchoring role to Idrissa Gueye, a combative ball-winner whose energy and distribution have earned him a reputation as one of Europe’s most reliable holding midfielders.
