Mateta will return to the Blues before the 2026 World Cup

Jean-Philippe Mateta took part in three gatherings with the French national team as part of preparation for the 2026 World Cup. However, the Crystal Palace player is going through a difficult period marked by an injury that slowed him down at the start of the season. The French striker has a clear objective: to quickly return to the pitch and prove himself worthy of a new call-up before the major tournament in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
