Upamecano (22 years old, three caps) was called up for the first time a year ago by Didier Deschamps, playing three games. But he was then deprived of selection for several months, missing the list for the Euro.
He was one of the ghosts in the group called up to face Bosnia, then Ukraine in Kiev on Saturday and Finland in Lyon on Tuesday, September 7, after his passage from Leipzig to Munich in the offseason.
Present at Clairefontaine on Monday like his teammates on the first day of the rally, “Upa” will finally “be made available to his club on Tuesday”, according to the FFF.
Lenglet (26 years old, 13 caps) will join the Blues in Strasbourg, two months after having the elimination of the Euro against Switzerland (3-3, 5-4 tab) in the round of 16, the only meeting of the European Championship which he had started before being prematurely replaced by Deschamps.
