Hugo Ekitike has been called up by France manager Didier Deschamps for this month’s World Cup qualifiers against Azerbaijan and Iceland.
The Liverpool striker appeared to strain a muscle during Tuesday’s Champions League clash with Galatasaray and was substituted on 68 minutes.
Initial concerns about his availabilty for Saturday’s trip to Chelsea have now eased, although it remains more likely that Alexander Isak will start up front, with Ekitike on the bench.
