What happened. Reports claim Andy Diouf is in contention for his first senior France call-up after being named on Zinedine Zidane's preliminary squad list. The Inter wing-back has impressed since being converted to a right wing-back in Cristian Chivu's 3-5-2.

• He has two assists from his first two Serie A appearances of the season
• He played the full 90 minutes against Real Madrid in the Champions League
• He joined Inter from Lens last summer in a €25m deal

If he makes the final cut, it would be his first senior France call-up after representing the Olympic side under Thierry Henry.
