Les Bleus made their first appearance under new coach Zinedine Zidane in last night’s 1-0 victory away to Turkiye, with a goal from Kylian Mbappé.
Their next match is on Monday evening in Brussels against Belgium, who are fresh from a 2-0 win over Italy.
Diouf and Da Cunha hope for France opportunity
According to L’Equipe there will be a lot of squad rotation for this fixture, including debuts for two Serie A players.
Versatile Inter figure Diouf is viewed as a potential left-back for France, despite largely playing on the right side of a five-man midfield at San Siro for his club.
As for Da Cunha, the midfielder first joined Como when they were in Serie B and has seen them progress all the way to the Champions League.
His ability to play in a three-man midfield is seemingly a rarity in the current France squad, so Zidane wants to test him out in the starting XI with Belgium.
Kylian Mbappé has already left the squad after sustaining a knee injury, so the Real Madrid striker will miss the Nations League clash with Italy on October 2.
