Theo Hernandez and Kounde have sparked debate over France's full-back positions following the 4-1 victory over Norway, according to L'Équipe.

On the right flank, could Warren Zaire-Emery and Gusto be viable alternatives? On the left, should Digne be prioritized over Theo? France's defensive flanks remain a concern ahead of upcoming fixtures. In the match against Norway, Kounde on the right wing failed to fully inspire confidence. He showed inconsistency, particularly in ball control, lacking technical assurance in key moments.

Defensively, he was also not outstanding, raising questions about whether this position needs reinforcement. Zaire-Emery, who has played right-back for PSG, is a viable option, and Chelsea's Gusto presents another reasonable alternative. Their attributes differ from Kounde's. However, for now, such speculation should not unsettle the current setup, as France's coaching staff clearly still has full confidence in Kounde.

The debate over the left flank is more open. Theo struggled in the match against Norway: the former AC Milan player committed an error that led to a penalty and had difficulty against Oscar Bobb. Such a display undermines his standing for this position, and Digne could provide a more reliable solution for the flank.

Hugo Delom, an L'Équipe journalist who covers the French national team, stated that the full-backs' performances could become "a major issue in upcoming matches."
