France stars return ahead of Women's World Cup after Herve Renard named manager

France stars Wendie Renard and Eugenie Le Sommer have both been recalled to the national squad following Herve Renard's appointment this week.

The Lyon duo return to the set-up following the fracture between former boss Corinne Diacre, who was sacked earlier this month, and several senior players. Centre-back Renard had said in February she was stepping back from the international arena and wanted to preserve her mental health.

By the appointment of namesake Herve Renard, who led the Saudi Arabian men's side at the 2022 World Cup, has led to a return for the French star. Le Sommer was controversially omitted from the Euro 2022 squad, despite being France's all-time top goalscorer, last playing an international back in April 2021.
