France: status quo expected for goalkeepers in Zidane's second squad

Summarised by MatchPal
Zidane expected to name Maignan, Restes and Butez as France's three goalkeepers for Nations League matches against Italy and Turkey.
Zinédine Zidane is set to announce France's squad for Nations League fixtures against Italy on 12 November and Turkey on 15 November, with continuity expected in the goalkeeper position.
The France manager is expected to call up AC Milan's Mike Maignan, Toulouse's Guillaume Restes and Como's Jean Butez for the two matches. This would mean Robin Risser of Lens, who was originally selected in September but replaced by Butez due to injury, misses out on the squad.
Maignan featured in all three of France's opening matches under Zidane against Turkey, Belgium and Italy. Restes made his senior debut in the fourth match, a 4-1 victory over Belgium, when Zidane gave the Toulouse goalkeeper his first cap.
