PARIS (Reuters) – Borussia Moenchengladbach forward Marcus Thuram, son of France’s 1998 World Cup winner Lilian, earned his first call-up to the French national team when coach Didier Deschamps named a 26-man squad on Thursday for three international games this month.<\/p>\n
Thuram has scored three goals in 10 games for the Bundesliga club in all competitions this season, including a double in their 2-2 Champions League draw against Real Madrid last month.<\/p>\n
“He has the ability to make a difference with his power and impact,” Deschamps said of the 23-year-old who was in the France squad that won the Under-19 European Championship in 2016.<\/p>\n
France host a friendly with Finland next Wednesday before playing Nations League matches away to European champions Portugal on Nov. 14 and at home to Sweden three days later.<\/p>\n
Deschamps also included injured forward Kylian Mbappe who missed Paris St Germain’s 2-1 Champions League defeat at RB Leipzig on Wednesday due to a hamstring injury, while midfielder Eduardo Camavinga was left out with a muscle problem.<\/p>\n
France are second in Nations League A Group 3 with 10 points from four games behind Portugal on goal difference. Croatia are third with three points while Sweden are bottom without a point.<\/p>\n
