Didier Deschamps has called on Patrice Evra to replace the unfit Layvin Kurzawa ahead of Friday’s World Cup qualifier against Sweden and the friendly versus Ivory Coast four days later. He was initially left out of the squad announced but has now been recalled to fill in for the PSG man.

“I recalled him due to Layvin’s injury because he has the experience of a high level – he is playing at Juventus,” said Deschamps. “If he is here, he is likely to play, just like the others. There is time by Friday.”
However, Deschamps is confident of Evra's footballing ability and not his online antics after he posted a video of himself dancing in a panda costume to promote an anti-racism message last month.
“I have not seen what he did. I’m not interested in social networks. Patrice has always been like that," he added. “He provides a good atmosphere, but if he is here it is mainly for his football skills and experience of the highest level.”
The 35-year old played every game as Les Bleus reached the final of Euro 2016 before losing to Portugal on home soil.
