France head coach Zinedine Zidane has named the player he has called up to the national squad for the first time.
Fanat.az reports that the 54-year-old has called up Paris FC attacking midfielder Pablo Pagis.
The news was reported by Reuters.
According to the report, the 23-year-old has been called up to France’s senior squad for the first time in his career.
Pagis has caught the eye with his performances in Ligue 1 this season, registering one goal and two assists in the league. An injury to Paris Saint-Germain’s Maghnes Akliouche also played a part in his call-up.
Speaking about Pagis at a press conference, Zidane described him as an interesting and different player, saying he wanted to take a closer look at him.
France will face Italy on 12 November and Turkey on 15 November in the Nations League group stage.
