Edouard Mendy’s team mates Cesar Azpilicueta, Jorginho, N’Golo Kante, Mason Mount, and Romelu Lukaku all made the 30 man shortlist with his name missing after he had a very god first campaign with Chelsea wining the Champions league and keeping a record 9 clean sheets.

Speaking to Canal+ (via Wiw Sport), Mendy said: “It’s something that motivates me and pushes me to work. Honestly, I am wondering. If I had played for France and had taken part in the [European Championships], would we have this debate and this reflection? “Do I think it’s an injustice? No, I wouldn’t use that word. It’s something that motivates me to go forward, to work and be performant at club level and with my country, and as I said after the game with the national team, it’s the journalists’ freedom of vote and expression, and they vote honourably and conscientiously.”

France football federation President, Noel Le Graet says Karim Benzema’s international career will not be affected by whatever verdict from his alleged sextape scandal

The President of the France Football Federations, Noel Le Graet made it known that the Karim Benzema’s sextape drama will not have effect on his international career and he will only be sanctioned based on sporting merits.

The Real Madrid striker has been in sensational form since returning to the French fold following a five-year hiatus, taking his place in the Euro 2020 squad and also being a key member of their recent Nations League success.

Graet further explained selections for the team is solely the responsibility of the coach Didier Deschamps but whatever the verdict says wont affect his national team career.

he said ;

‘The coach will always remain responsible for his selection, and Benzema will not be excluded in relation to a possible judicial sanction,’ Le Graet told Le Parisien in an interview. Even if he receives a penalty, a suspended prison sentence, he still has the possibility of appealing a conviction. So his selection, or not, in the coming months will not be linked to this judgment. I will never intervene to say that we do not take him. After that, it is up to Didier [Deschamps] to consider whether, on a sporting level, he is fit to play with les Bleus.’

Benzema is accused of attempting to persuade Valbuena to agree to an amount blackmailers were requesting for which made him a suspect in the crime but if he is found guilty, with prosecutors seeking a 10-month suspended sentence and a €75,000 fine, this will not affect his his France career.
