Official: Real Madrid duo selected for French national team duty ahead of international break | OneFootball

We are only a game away from the third international break of the season and the final one of the year, with the focus entirely shifting to club football from the end of November.

Therefore, clubs like Real Madrid have one more hurdle to cross as they look to keep their players and injury-free going into the November restart.

Real Madrid, with its large international contingent, are one of the most exposed teams out there. But it appears only two players have been able to make it to France’s squad this week.

Indeed, France have unveiled their squad for the upcoming international break, with Kylian Mbappe and Eduardo Camavinga emerging as the only Real Madrid players.

A notable absentee was Aurelien Tchouameni, who has picked up a fresh injury and has been ruled out for at least three weeks.

It is no doubt that Tchouameni would have made Didier Deschamps’ initial list, but following his injury, the French national team coach had to make do with only Mbappe and Camavinga.

Mbappe has been one of Europe’s best performers this season, having been scoring goals for fun, while Camavinga has mesmerised everyone with his recent form and versatility.

Both players, therefore, will be extremely useful for France as they look to end the year on a positive note.

Real Madrid, for their part, will hope that both go through the two matches unscathed and remain available when Los Blancos return to action on November 23.

France, meanwhile, are slated to face Ukraine and Azerbaijan as part of their World Cup qualifying campaign, with Les Bleus already leading their group.
