Leicester’s Kante in, Man Utd’s Schneiderlin on standby as Hosts France name Euro 2016 squad

France head coach Didier Deschamps has named his squad for this summer’s European Championships.

There are 10 Premier League players in Deschamps’s 23-man selection, including Manchester United frontmanAnthony Martial and Leicester City midfielder N’Golo Kante.

As expected, Karim Benzema and Mathieu Valbuena have been omitted following their recent blackmail row, while Hatem Ben Arfa and Alexandre Lacazette have also been overlooked.

Those two are both on the list of standby players, as is Man United midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin, who has lost his place to Kante.
