Axel Disasi is called up to reinforce Didier Deschamps' squad!
More great news fter a strong win over Ajaccio (0-2)! Disappointed not to be called in the initial list last Thursday, Axel Disasi will now join France during the international break. The vice-captain of the Rouge et Blanc has indeed been called in as a reinforcement by Didier Deschamps, following the withdrawal of Arsenal’s William Saliba. Youssouf Fofana will therefore not head to Clairefontaine alone.
