Anthony Martial Withdraws From France Squad Ahead of Euro 2020 Qualifiers Due to Injury

Anthony Martial has withdrawn from the France squad ahead of Les Bleus' opening European Championship qualifying matches.

The Manchester United winger was included in Didier Deschamps' squad despite making his last appearance for his country in a 3-1 win over Russia almost a year ago. He was not included in the World Cup winning squad and subsequently pulled out of the squad for the matches against Holland and Uruguay in November through injury.

Once again, Martial will not be featuring for France after the French Football Confederation (via The Metro), have confirmed that the forward felt discomfort in his right knee during United's FA Cup defeat against Wolves on Saturday evening.
