Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette and Manchester United forward Anthony Martial have been left out of the France squad for this year’s World Cup in Russia.
Lacazette, 26, won the last of his 16 caps in a 2-2 friendly draw with Germany in November while Martial, 22, has won 18 caps and started France’s 3-1 friendly victory over Russia in March.
The former West Ham player, 31, went off injured during the Europa League final defeat by Atletico Madrid on Wednesday, although he was also not included in manager Didier Deschamps’ previous squad.
Manchester City full-back Benjamin Mendy is one of five Premier League players included, having only returned to action in April after nearly seven months out with a knee injury.
Chelsea midfielder N’Golo Kante and striker Olivier Giroud, Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba and Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris are the other England-based players in the 23-man squad.
