Griezmann and Lenglet called up by France, Dembele not
Didier Deschamps brought in some Barcelona players and Marcus Thuram, Lilian's son
France coach Didier Deschamps has called up Kylian Mbappe after injury, as well as giving Marcus Thuram his first call. The Borussia Monchengladbach winger is son of the legendary defender Lilian Thuram.
Barcelona duo Antoine Griezmann and Clement Lenglet have been given the nod, along with Real Madrid's Raphael Varane and Betis playmaker Nabil Fekir, but Ferland Mendy is not included, nor Ousmane Dembele.
Eduardo Camavinga misses out with injury and will not face Portugal or Sweden in the Nations league, or Finland in the friendly.
"Camavinga's absence is because of his injury, but that's not clear in the case of Mbappe, even though he did not play yesterday. We are not sure he's not available," said Deschamps.
