Rayan Cherki was missing for Manchester City this Sunday against Brighton (1-2) in the Premier League due to a thigh injury. As a result, the Frenchman will miss the national team camp. In an official statement, the French Football Federation confirmed the former Lyon player's withdrawal, unable to join Les Bleus for the crucial World Cup 2026 qualifiers against Ukraine and Iceland.

To fill the gap, Didier Deschamps has chosen striker Hugo Ekitike. The French-Cameroonian receives his first call-up after an impressive start at Liverpool. It's a well-deserved reward for the former PSG forward!
