Euro 2024 Qualifiers: Dembele, Nkunku Return To France Squad

Barcelona's Ousmane Dembele and RB Leipzig forward Christopher Nkunku were recalled to the France squad named by coach Didier Deschamps ahead of two Euro 2024 qualifiers in for June.

Both players missed France's opening qualifying matches in March, when they beat the Netherlands 4-0 at home and won 1-0 away to the Republic of Ireland.

France will play Gibraltar in Faro, Portugal on June 16, and a home clash with Greece three days later, on top of qualifying Group B with six points.

Speaking to reporters, Deschamps stated: "You will say I am very pragmatic, but the three points that are available against Gibraltar have the same value as those we took against the Netherlands or in Ireland. He was supposed to be in the squad for the World Cup but was ruled out by injury, but now he is back on top form.”
