The countdown to the 2026 FIFA World Cup is officially on, and national teams are beginning to unveil their 23-man squads for the summer tournament across the USA, Canada, and Mexico. France's list arrived today, bringing mixed news for Real Madrid fans.

Two of Los Blancos' finest—captain Kylian Mbappé and midfield anchor Aurélien Tchouaméni—have secured their tickets to North America. Mbappé, as expected, leads the line for Les Bleus. Despite a few injury scares this season, the 27-year-old has been electric in front of goal and is hungry to lift his second World Cup trophy. Tchouaméni, a defensive stalwart for both club and country, was never in doubt for Didier Deschamps' plans.

However, there's heartbreak for Eduardo Camavinga. The versatile midfielder, who was rumored to be on the call-up list earlier today, has been left out entirely. A frustrating campaign marred by injuries and inconsistent minutes at the Santiago Bernabéu has taken its toll, and now he'll watch the World Cup from home. For a player of his talent, it's a tough blow—but at 23, his time will surely come again.
