Tottenham's Tanguy Ndombele sees form under Jose Mourinho rewarded with first France call-up in 18 months... while Barcelona's Ousmane Dembele is selected for first time in more than TWO YEARS by Didier Deschamps

Tanguy Ndombele and Ousmane Dembele were the surprise inclusions as Didier Deschamps shuffled his pack for France's upcoming 2022 World Cup qualifiers.

Ndombele has continued to go from strength to strength with Tottenham under Jose Mourinho and has seen his form rewarded with a first call-up since the summer of 2019.

He has six caps to his name and this represents his first call-up since swapping Lyon for Tottenham.

Tanguy Ndombele has seen his good form with Tottenham rewarded by France
Ousmane Dembele, a 2018 World Cup winner, has his first call-up since November that year
Didier Deschamps did not select either player for at least 18 months but has changed his mind

Dembele's wait for a call up proved even longer with the Barcelona winger selected for the first time since November 2018.
