The news will be a big boost to Dembele who has spoken openly recently about his desire to play at the World Cup for France in 2022.
“Yes, I hope I can be on the list, although it does not depend on me,” he told Mundo Deportivo. “I have to concentrate on playing well, doing my best at Barça and then the opportunity may come.”
Deschamps does have plenty of attacking options with Deschamps also calling up Antoine Griezmann, Kylian Mbappe and Christopher Nkunku.
