Hutton: Digne's World Cup fate hinges on Deschamps' tactics
16 Jun
Summary
- Digne's World Cup selection depends on Deschamps' tactical approach.
- Kamara's injury was a massive blow to Aston Villa's midfield.
- Hutton believes Digne has had a strong season with Villa.

Alan Hutton believes France's World Cup left-back selection will depend on manager Didier Deschamps' tactical choices. Hutton noted that while Lucas Digne offers defensive strength, Theo Hernandez provides an outright attacking threat, suggesting Deschamps will pick based on his strategic needs for each game. Despite strong competition, Hutton feels Digne has had a very good season, concluding with a UEFA Europa Conference League title, boosting his confidence.
Kamara's recurrent injury has been a significant setback for Aston Villa. Hutton described the midfielder as the crucial 'glue' holding the team together, vital for ball progression from the defense. His absence, alongside other midfield injuries, notably impacted Villa's form. Hutton suggested that Kamara's consistent performances, if he had remained injury-free, would have certainly put him in contention for a place in the French national squad.
