FULL LIST | Leny Yoro and Mathys Tel receive France U21 call-up | OneFootball

France U21 manager Gérard Baticle has unveiled his squad list for the September international break. Les Bleuets will host Luxembourg at Lorient, on Friday, September 5, to kickstart their campaign to qualify for the 2027 UEFA U21 Euros, which will be jointly hosted by Albania and Serbia. Les Bleuets will remain in Brittany to play Serbia, at Lorient, on Monday, September 8.
