Chelsea defender Wesley Fofana earns first France call

Chelsea defender Wesley Fofana has received a call up to the French national side.

The center back, who joined the London outfit from Leicester City in the summer, has yet to earn a cap for his nation.

Coach Didier Deschamps may give him that chance in their upcoming Euro 2024 qualifiers.

Brice Samba, Khephren Thuram and Fofana are the three new faces in the French squad.

The likes of Eduardo Camavinga, Theo Hernandez, Ibrahima Konate and Jules Kounde are also defensive options for France.

One who is not present is Manchester United's Raphael Varane, who has retired from international duty.
