Newcastle United midfielder Moussa Sissoko has been named in the France squad for their upcoming friendlies against the Netherlands and Russia.
Sissoko and French teammates face their Dutch counterparts - who could include the 26-year-old's Magpies teammates Daryl Janmaat and Georginio Wijnaldum - at the Amsterdam ArenA on Friday, 25th March as Les Bleus continue their preparations for this summer's European Championships.
Four days later, on Tuesday, 29th March Didier Deschamps' men host Russia at the Stade de France.
Former Toulouse man Sissoko will be looking to add to his tally of 33 caps for his country ahead of further friendlies with Cameroon and Scotland at the end of April and start of May.
