Official | Kingsley Coman called up for France as Ousmane Dembélé and Désiré Doué pull out

Al-Nassr winger Kingsley Coman (29) has been called up by France national team manager Didier Deschamps, the French FA has announced. Les Bleus were in need of back-up on the wings as Ousmane Dembélé and Désiré Doué suffered injuries during France’s 2-0 away win over Ukraine on Friday. The PSG strikers are expected to miss several weeks of action.

With two wingers short and a second 2026 World Cup qualifier coming up on Tuesday against Iceland, Deschamps opted to give Coman a recall. The former Bayern Munich player hasn’t featured for France since a goalless draw against Israel in November 2024.
