Real Madrid target Camavinga already verging on undroppable for France boss Deschamps

Eduardo Camavinga is already bordering on being undroppable for Didier Deschamps, the France boss has said.

Rennes midfielder Camavinga made his first international start in the friendly against Ukraine on Wednesday and opened the scoring in a 7-1 victory with an overhead kick in the ninth minute.

At 17 years and 11 months old, he became the second youngest player to score for Les Bleus after Maurice Gastiger (17 years, five months) against Switzerland in March 1914.

Camavinga was drafted into the squad in September as a late replacement for Paul Pogba following the Manchester United midfielder's positive coronavirus test and became France's youngest debutant in 106 years when he came off the bench against Croatia.
