Zouma and Fekir handed France call-ups
Kurt Zouma and Nabil Fekir are could earn their first senior international caps after being selected by France for the upcoming friendlies with Brazil and Denmark.
Defender Zouma has been selected after breaking into the Chelsea side under Jose Mourinho this season, while Lyon midfielder Fekir opted for France over Algeria earlier this month.
Fekir has 13 goals to his name this season and is one of four players from the Ligue 1 leaders named in the squad by coach Didier Deschamps.
Christophe Jallet, Maxime Gonalons and Alexandre Lacazette are also included, along with Monaco midfielder Geoffrey Kondogbia, who has just one previous cap to his name.
Juventus star Paul Pogba misses out because of an injury picked up in their UEFA Champions League win at Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday.
Paris Saint-Germain's Yohan Cabaye is also absent due to injury, while his team-mate Lucas Digne and Monaco's Layvin Kurzawa have both been left out after featuring against Sweden in November.
Deschamps' men welcome Brazil to the Stade de France on March 26 and then meet Denmark at Saint-Etienne's Stade Geoffroy-Guichard three days later.
