Liverpool striker Hugo Ekitike may not be called up for France's upcoming World Cup qualifiers, according to a report.
The centre-forward has hit the ground running since his £79million move from Eintracht Frankfurt with two goals in his opening two Premier League appearances.
France will name their squad on Wednesday afternoon ahead of fixtures against Ukraine on September 5 and Iceland at the Parc des Princes four days later.
However, Ekitike will have to wait longer to get his first international call-up, according to Le Figaro.
The report states that Didier Deschamps' staff believe that it's 'too soon' to give the 23-year-old a spot in Le Bleus' senior squad.
