FULL LIST | Rayan Cherki, Randal Kolo Muani and N’Golo Kanté return to France squad | OneFootball

Didier Deschamps revealed his squad for France’s camp for the November international break on Thursday afternoon. Les Bleus will try to seal their spot for the 2026 World Cup. Last month, France won their Group D game against Azerbaïdjan (3-0) and drew against Iceland (2-2). Les Bleus will host Ukraine on Thursday, November 13, and fly out to Baku to face Azerbaïjan the following Sunday.

Deschamps had several gaps to fill in his squad with Aurélien Tchouaméni, Adrien Rabiot, Ballon d’Or winner Ousmane Dembélé and Désiré Doué all out with injuries. To replace Tchouaméni and Rabiot, Deschamps has given Al-Ittihad’s N’Golo Kanté and PSG’s Warren Zaïre-Emery a recall.

Randal Kolo Muani is also back after returning to Tottenham’s first-team set-up. Crystal Palace’s Jean-Philippe Mateta retains his spot within Deschamps’ camp. France need a win against Ukraine to qualify for the 2026 World Cup at the earliest opportunity.
