Camavinga becomes youngest France player since 1914 with Croatia cameo

Rennes starlet Eduardo Camavinga has become the youngest senior France international since 1914.

Camavinga came on in the 63rd minute of France's 4-2 Nations League win over Croatia on Tuesday, replacing N'Golo Kante to make his international debut at the age of 17 years and 303 days.

The teenager became France's third-youngest debutant when he came on the pitch at Stade de France, making him the youngest player to play for France since Maurice Gastiger, who made his debut in 1914 at the age of 17 years and 128 days.
