World champions France make their debut in the UEFA Nations League this month and coach Didier Deschamps has released his squad for the games against Germany in Munich on 6 September and Holland three days later at Stade de France. After his team lifted the World Cup in Russia this summer, Deschamps has practically called up the same 23 players; there is just one change to his last list - Olympique de Marseille goalkeeper Steve Mandanda has been left out this time and in his place comes Girondins' Benoît Costil. It's a minor change as it only concerns the third choice goalkeeper's position.
