Former Nottingham Forest goalkeeper Brice Samba has sent a heartfelt message following his first call-up to the French national side.
The Forest play-off hero has been included in Didier Dechamps’ squad for the European qualifiers against the Netherlands and Ireland later this month. His performances in Ligue 1 this season for Lens have led to the call-up.
The inclusion in the squad comes around 10 months after he played a massive part in Forest’s return to the Premier League via the play-offs last season.
