Following Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Hugo Lloris' retirement from international football earlier this week, it appears as though Steve Mandanda, his backup for 15 years, is also set to retire from international competition.
The 37-year-old has been behind the Spurs man in the French pecking order since 2008, but has reportedly decided against finally taking the chance to grab the Number 1 shirt for the first time in his career.
This could lead to Leeds United star Illan Meslier finally getting a call-up to the senior team under Didier Deschamps - a feat he has not yet achieved despite three solid seasons with the Whites.
