France Squad for WC Qualifiers vs Netherlands and Luxembourg 2017- No Martial, Dembele, Benzema

Here is the France squad for their upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Netherlands and Luxembourg, as announced by coach Didier Deschamps today (August 24, 2017).

Notable omissions include Anthony Martial, Ousmane Dembele, Karim Benzema and Benjamin Mendy, but there is a return for Olympique Lyon’s Nabil Fekir.

Deschamps has also said that players will not be allowed to leave Clarefontaine to sort out any potential transfers. The camp begins from Monday, which essentially means the transfer window for players like Mbappe (who has been linked with a switch to PSG) effectively ends on August 27.

On that note, Ousmane Dembele’s omission could perhaps mean a late transfer move in the offing for the Dortmund star?
