Roma defender Lucas Digne is one of three Serie A representatives in Didier Deschamps’ latest France squad.

The 22-year-old has been in and out of contention for Les Bleus, with Benoit Tremoulinas of Sevilla often given the nod ahead of the Giallorossi man.

However, the left-back has been included for the friendlies with the Netherlands and Russia on March 25 and 29 respectively.

Juventus pair Patrice Evra and Paul Pogba are also included, but there is once again no place for Inter midfielder Geoffrey Kondogbia.
