France manager Dider Deschamps has this afternoon announced his squad for the upcoming international break, which features the returns of forwards Olivier Giroud and Ousmane Dembélé as well as a host of fresh faces.
Deschamps has had to make do with an injury crisis that has included the likes of regulars Karim Benzema, Paul Pogba N’Golo Kanté and Presnel Kimpembe being ruled out of action.
