Didier Deschamps, this list of 23 players said on Thursday the two games of the League of Nations against Austria and Denmark, on September 22 and 25. Faced with a succession of packages (Paul Pogba, Karim Benzema, Ngolo Kanté in particular), the coach was forced to several changes.

Some players take advantage of these absences to return to the French team. This is the case in attack by Barcelona Ousmane Dembélé, but also of Olivier Giroud. Efficient with AC Milan, the 2018 world champion benefits from the absence of Karim Benzema, injured in one knee. European champion with Real Madrid, Eduardo Camavanga also finds the France group, a year and a half after thunderous beginnings in 18 years.

Two months before the World Cup in Qatar (November 20 – December 18), the coach summoned three new ones. They are the Monegasque defender Benoît Badiashile and his teammate Youssouf Fofana, midfielder. On the attacker side, the former Nantes Randal Kolo Muani (transferred to the Eintracht Frankfurt this summer) will also discover the Blues. 2>
