Manchester United pair Paul Pogba and Anthony Martial have both been ruled out of France's squad for their upcoming round of international fixtures.
It has been confirmed that Pogba and Martial would miss out with thigh and adductor complaints respectively.
Pogba picked up a knock during Wednesday’s 2-1 Champions League comeback win against Juventus in Turin, and was unable to fully recover in time for Sunday’s Manchester derby, with the midfielder watched United’s 3-1 defeat from the stands.
Speaking of his decision to recall Martial to the national team setup, Deschamps said: “He has incredible potential, but does not always show it regularly.
"What he is doing in Manchester now is closer to what he is able to do.”
He added: ”He is still a young player, but one who, I hope, is seeing the importance he has taken in Manchester in recent weeks.”
France will also be without two of their World Cup winning back four for their upcoming matches, with both Raphael Varane and Lucas Hernandez set to miss out with muscle injuries.
