The French coach brought the winger back into the squad nine months later

France coach Didier Deschamps spoke about bringing back Ousmane Dembele into his squad for the friendlies against Colombia and Russia in the weeks ahead.

Les Bleus' gaffer said the Barca player's return comes because he's "getting his usual ability back". Deschamps said Dembele "is better, he's had games, he's done good things for the national team although at the start it was tough for him."

"Borussia Dortmund is a big club but at Barcelona the demands are higher, there is more pressure. But he has not lost his quality."

DIGNE AND UMTITI

Two other Barcelona players made the squad, Samuel Umtiti and Lucas Digne, who usually do make it into the squad.

Other players in the Spanish league included were Madrid's Raphael Varane, Atletico's Antoine Griezmann and Lucas Hernandez and Sevilla striker Wissam Ben Yedder.
