As announced throughout the day, Karim Benzema (81 sel.) Is part of the list of 26 players selected by Didier Deschamps this Tuesday for the next Euro. The Real Madrid striker is therefore making his return to the France team, five and a half years after his last selection for the Blues, against Armenia in October 2015 (4-0). In addition to the former Lyonnais, the presences of Marcus Thuram (Borussia Mönchengladbach) and Jules Koundé (Sevilla FC) are also a surprise in the list of Didier Deschamps.

They will then host Bulgaria at the Stade de France on June 8 before flying to Munich, challenging Germany for their first match of the competition.
