N'Golo Kante is unexpectedly recalled to the France Euro 2024 squad, although Michael Olise and Christopher Nkunku are not.

Didier Deschamps has given N'Golo Kante a surprise recall to the France squad for Euro 2024.

Les Bleus are among the favourites to win the title in Germany, but they lack a number of big names in central midfield, and they are also hampered by the injury absence of Aston Villa's Boubacar Kamara.

Kante, 33, last played for his country in the summer of 2022, but he will have the opportunity to add to his 56 caps after joining Saudi Arabian club Al-Ittihad last year.

France has left out Chelsea attacker Christopher Nkunku after his injury-plagued debut season in west London, as well as Michael Olise, a London-born Crystal Palace winger who has previously represented the country at the juvenile level.

Axel Disasi and Malo Gusto, Nkunku's Chelsea colleagues, did not make the cut, but Premier League trio Alphonse Areola, William Saliba, and Ibrahima Konate did.

Bayern Munich defender Lucas Hernandez would have made the roster, but he is out due to injury.

For the first time, Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola is listed alongside established players such as Kylian Mbappe, Olivier Giroud, and Antoine Griezmann.

Deschamps has chosen a 26-man team instantly, despite numerous other countries releasing preliminary lists ahead of the June 7 deadline to officially reveal each decision.

France will play warm-up friendly against Luxembourg and Canada next month before beginning their Euro campaign against Austria on June 17, with other group games against the Netherlands and Poland.

Goalkeepers: Alphonse Areola (West Ham), Mike Maignan (AC Milan), Brice Samba (Lens).

Defenders: Jules Kounde (Barcelona), Jonathan Clauss (Marseille), Benjamin Pavard (Inter), Ibrahima Konate (Liverpool), William Saliba (Arsenal), Dayot Upamecano (Bayern Munich), Theo Hernandez (AC Milan), Ferland Mendy (Real Madrid).

Fiorentina midfielder Edoardo Bove collapsed during a Serie A match.

Edoardo Bove, a Fiorentina midfielder, slumped on the pitch during his team's Serie A match against Inter Milan on Sunday. Bove's teammates hastily shouted for medical assistance and surrounded the 22-year-old before doctors treated him and quickly transferred him to a nearby ambulance on the side of the pitch. The event occurred in the 16th minute of the match, which was momentarily suspended at 0-0 and then abandoned with plans to reschedule later in the season. According to Sky Sport Italia, Bove was rushed to the Careggi Hospital near Fiorentina's Stadio Artemio Franchi. The Italian broadcaster later stated that Bove was breathing and beating on his own. In the minutes following Bove's fall, his teammates and opponents were visibly stunned and sad, with some in tears.

Botafogo, consisting of ten players, won their first Copa Libertadores versus Mineiro.

Botafogo won their first Copa Libertadores with a 3-1 victory over Atlético Mineiro. The all-Brazilian fight got off to a rousing start as Artur Jorge's team was reduced to ten men just 31 seconds in after Gregore was sent off for a high lunge on Fausto Vera. But the Estrela Solitária broke the deadlock with a sweeping finish from Luiz Henrique, who went on to win a penalty later in the half. Everson's foul on the winger was reviewed by VAR before Alex Telles cemented their dominance with a comfortable penalty kick just before halftime. Mineiro responded early in the second half, with Eduardo Vargas heading in Hulk's corner from the left, but the 2013 victors were unable to equalize. Júnior Santos' late goal secured victory for Artur Jorge's team in Buenos Aires' Estadio Monumental, sparking wild celebrations. Botafogo currently leads the Brasileirão by three points with two games remaining in 2024.
