Martial still in Deschamps' France plans despite latest omission

Anthony Martial still figures in France head coach Dider Deschamps' plans, despite being omitted from the squad for the November international break.

The Manchester United forward has been in fine form since his return from a two-month lay-off with a thigh injury, scoring three goals in his past six games.

The 23-year-old has caught the eye in particular for his link-ups with Marcus Rashford and Daniel James at Old Trafford, helping the Red Devils climb to seventh in the Premier League.

However, Martial – whose last international appearance came in a friendly against Russia in March 2018 – has again been omitted for the upcoming Euro 2020 qualifiers with Moldova and Albania.
