Deschamps does not call up Mendy again

Didier Deschamps announced the France squad list for Les Bleus' upcoming matches in the qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

Among those selected was the absence of Ferland Mendy who, despite his role at Real Madrid, does not seem to have a place in the 2018 World Cup winning squad.

The former Olympique Lyon man is now fully recovered from an injury that kept him out until mid-October and is once again central to Carlo Ancelotti's plans.

Despite this, his importance at the Santiago Bernabeu has yet to be rewarded with a call-up from Deschamps, so Mendy will have to wait to return to the national team.

However, his non-call-up will be a relief for Real Madrid, who will be able to count on the player during the international break to finish his preparation before the league games after the 'FIFA dates'.
