Manchester United forward Anthony Martial recalled to France squad

Manchester United forward Anthony Martial has won a France recall for the friendlies against Wales and Germany.

However, there was no space in a 24-man squad announced by Didier Deschamps on Thursday for Celtic's 21-year-old striker Moussa Dembele who had been tipped for inclusion.

Martial has not played for France since October 2016, when he won his 15th cap against Holland, but is back in the fold after netting six goals for Manchester United so far this season.

Deschamps said former Monaco player Martial had "come back well" after a "more difficult period" in his career, justifying his return to favour.
