Among them are five Ligue 1 players: the Rémois Yunis Abdelhamid (11 caps) and Amir Richardson (3 caps), the Parisian Achraf Hakimi (64 caps, 8 goals) and the Marseillais Amine Harit (16 caps) and Azzedine Ounahi ( 18 caps, 2 goals). On the other hand, although he was summoned for the first time last November, Sofiane Diop is absent from the list. Injured once morest Toulouse (1-0, November 26), the Niçois suffers from a fracture of the third right metatarsal.
