Lacroix: We watched Zidane on TV, now we can train with him 1 Like reaction. (0:39)
This is Zidane's first squad -- having taken over as head coach in July -- and those called up will be hoping to impress the legendary Frenchman.
France will take on Türkiye on Friday, as Zidane seeks to get his tenure off to a winning start.
Zidane has shown a willingness to shape the France squad as he sees fit, having left Aurélien Tchouaméni and Marcus Thuram out for the Nations League fixtures.

He has called up a number of new faces, including Guillaume Restes, Andy Diouf, Jérémy Jacquet, Lucas Da Cunha and Esteban Le Paul.
Speaking at the French football federation's Clairefontaine headquarters last week, Zidane said:
"They are players who deserve to be here, players I want to see. Everyone will be involved," he said.
"What inspires me is the game. I want to see these players and this team playing."
Star forward Kylian Mbappé missed training with his France teammates on Tuesday due to a bout of the flu.
After Türkiye, France face Belgium on Sept. 28, Italy on Oct. 2, and then Belgium on Oct. 5 again in their remaining Nations League fixtures over the international break.
