Jean-Clair Todibo made his first senior international appearance for his country in Tuesday’s friendly against Germany! 

He’s made another important step in his career. Jean-Clair Todibo made his France debut in the 2-1 defeat to Germany on Tuesday, just reward for his excellent performances for the club, where everyone is proud of him and delighted his displays have been recognised by Dider Deschamps.

Called up in March along with Khephren Thuram, Le Gym’s vice-captain had to wait for his second call-up before getting onto the pitch where he made his senior international debut alongside William Saliba with whom he played at Nice in winter 2021.

Saliba was looking to kickstart his career, and after a successful six-month spell and another loan at Marseille, he’s now shining with Arsenal.

Todibo, who has made 106 competitive appearances for Nice (2 goals), is still in a red-and-black shirt alongside Dante with whom he forms one of the most solid and consistent centre-back pairings in Ligue 1*.

Todibo played the full game for France - hopefully the first of many - becoming the 32nd Aiglon to feature for Les Bleus.
