PARIS, Nov. 3 (Xinhua) -- Didier Deschamps Thursday recalled Olivier Giroud into the French squad for next week's World Cup qualifying match hosting Sweden and a friendly with Cote d'Ivoire.
The Arsenal striker missed France's last World Cup qualifier visiting the Netherlands on Oct. 10 due to a toe injury. He's back to fitness and scored twice in his club's English Premiership match at Sunderland.
Anthony Martial, however, was dropped as France play Sweden at the Stade de France next Friday before the Cote d'Ivoire friendly four days later, though seven players based in England were called up.
"His club coach expects more from him and so do I," Deschamps warned the 20-year-old Manchester United forward who's under Jose Mourinho in the English Premier League.
"I have not forgotten what he has done or what he is capable of doing, but it's up to him to make efforts to find his best form," said Deschamps.
Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema is still missing from the national squad, after being suspected of involvement in an alleged attempt to blackmail Lyon midfielder Mathieu Valbuena over a sex tape.
France are now with seven points from three games, tying with Group A leaders Sweden on points in the 2018 World Cup European zone qualifying tournament.
Following is the squad of France named by Deschamps on Thursday:
Goalkeepers: Alphonse Areola (Paris Saint-Germain), Hugo Lloris (Tottenham, England), Steve Mandanda (Crystal Palace, England)
