Manchester United loanee Anthony Martial has been left out of France's squad to play Ivory Coast and South Africa as Reds-linked Christopher Nkunku got his first call-up.
The omission becomes the latest disappointment for Martial who recently returned to action after spending time on the sidelines. Prior to his absence, he featured in all Sevilla's matches scoring in the Europa League win over Dinamo Zagreb but suffered a hamstring injury against Espanyol, days later.
Despite improving during his short spell in La Liga, his stint away from the squad has seen Didier Deschamps opt to leave out the Frenchman. RB Leipzig's Nkunku received his maiden call-up to the senior squad after his formidable run of form.
