Didier Deschamps has included Juventus’ Paul Pogba and Roma’s Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa in his latest squad.
France will play Albania at the Stade de la Route de Lorient in Rennes on Friday November 14, and then Sweden at the revamped Stade Vélodrome in Marseille four days later.
Whilst Pogba has become a regular with the Bleus, Yanga-Mbiwa has been capped only three other times so far.
The on-loan Roma man keeps his place in the squad having been a late call-up to last month’s selection in place of the injured Laurent Koscielny.
