Everton defender Kurt Zouma is being tipped to earn a place in the French squad for the upcoming international break.
Sport report that the on-loan Chelsea defender is among the favourites to replace the injured Samuel Umtiti.
A nasty knee injury to the Barcelona defender has left Didier Deschamps with a decision to make ahead of games against Iceland and Germany.
Aymeric Laporte and Borussia Dortmund’s Abdou Diallo are also thought to be under consideration for a place in the squad.
The news may come as a surprise to Zouma, despite his strong start to the season with Everton.
He was not included in the final France World Cup squad over the summer, despite making the standby list and has not been called up since September 2017.
Zouma joined Everton on a season-long loan from Chelsea during the summer and will be hoping regular game time at Goodison Park could rejuvenate his Blues career.
