France have confirmed the call up of Lucas Digne to their squad ahead of their Nations League double header against Italy and Belgium.
The Aston Villa left-back has come in for Ferland Mendy, who suffered a leg injury in Real Madrid’s 2-0 win over Real Betis on Sunday.

It is Digne’s first call up since June 2022, and comes off the back of strong form for Aston Villa both at the start of this season and all of last season.
He has started all three games for Unai Emery’s side this season.
The 31-year-old will be looking to add to his 46 caps when Les Bleus face off against two of their biggest European rivals in the coming weeks.
