The French international of Beninese origin, Rod Fanni, has been called up by Didier Deschamps at the last minute to replace Bacary Sagna, who is suffering from a thigh injury. Fanni will join the French team for their matches against Australia on October 11 and Finland on October 15. This marks Fanni’s fifth call-up to the national team, and he was previously called up at the last minute in March for matches against Spain and Georgia when Mathieu Debuchy was unavailable.
