Left on the bench by Philippe Bergeroo last month, with France U19, Abdoulaye Diallo should not be living the same situation this November.
The young Rennes goalkeeper is indeed returning into Francis Smerecki’s squad (France U20) with most of the players crowned U19 European champions this summer.
Once more the only upgraded player in the selection, Diallo will have his work cut out with the competition of Sochaux’ Pierrick Cros, who started his team’s last two games in Ligue 1.
Smerecki’s squad will be taking part in a camp at Clairefontaine from November 15th to 18th. Friendlies are also scheduled, against Montenegro and US Orléans (National). This camp is part of the squad’s preparation towards the U20 World Cup in August 2011.
