While Gignac has not played a match with the France team since October 2016 , his illusion to wear the France shirt remains intact.
Club sources reported to the half-time portal that the new coach of Tigres,
Miguel “Piojo” Herrera , will grant Gignac permission to attend the Olympic Games if summoned . In this way the top scorer auriazul would not have any obstacle in wearing the colors of his team.
In case Gignac is called up, he will have the opportunity to face the national team of Mexico sub – 23 directed by Jaime Lozano because they share the same group.
It should be remembered that it would not be the first time that Gignac played vs. Mexico, as both dozen faced each other in the group stage of the World Cup in South Africa 2010, in which El Tri won 2-0 thanks to goals from Cuauhtémoc Blanco and Javier “Chicharito” Hernández.
