Manchester United forward Anthony Martial has again been overlooked by France for their final two World Cup qualifiers against Bulgaria and Belarus.

 

The Red Devils star misses out despite his impressive recent form culminating in a goal and two assists in their 4-1 Champions League win over CSKA Moscow on Wednesday.

 

While Martial has missed out once again, Dimitri Payet has been recalled to the squad. The Marseille playmaker has replaced Ousmane Dembele in Didier Deschamps’ plans, with the Barcelona winger ruled out until at least December with a hamstring injury.

 

The full squad includes:

 

Goal Keepers: Alphone Areola (PSG), Hugo Lloris (Tottenham), Steve Mandanda (Marseille)

 

Defenders: Lucas Digne (Barcelona), Christophe Jallet (Nice), Presnel Kimpembe (PSG), Laurent Koscielny (Arsenal), Layvin Kurzawa (PSG), Djibril Sidibe (Monaco), Samuel Umtiti (Barcelona), Raphael Varane (Real Madrid)

 

Midfielders: N’Golo Kante (Chelsea), Blaise Matuidi (Juventus), Adrien Rabiot (PSG), Moussa Sissoko (Tottenham), Corentin Tolisso (Bayern Munich)

 

Forward: Kingsley Coman (Bayern Munich), Olivier Giroud (Arsenal), Antoine Griezmann (Atletico Madrid), Alexandre Lacazette (Arsenal), Thomas Lemar (Monaco), Kylian Mbappe (PSG), Dimitri Payet (Marseille), Florian Thauvin (Marseille).
