Newcastle United midfielder Moussa Sissoko has been named in the France squad for this summer's European Championships.
The 26-year-old was included in manager Didier Deschamps' 23-man squad for the tournament, which will take place on French soil.
Sissoko is one of 10 English-based players to be called up, with former Magpies man Yohan Cabaye also set to feature for Les Bleus.
France have two warm-up friendlies before the tournament gets underway, with Deschamps' men set to face Cameroon in Nantes on Monday, 30th May and Scotland in Metz on Saturday, 4th June.
