The 18-year old sensation joins Les Bleus for the first time in his short career, earning praise even from France's boss, Didier Deschamps

It seems like Kylian Mbappe's career is on the rise, and Didier Deschamps believes it's time to test his skills with the French National Team.

Les Bleus issued their call up for the upcoming International Break, and the 18-year old ace is included in it alongside names such as Antoine Griezmann, Dimitri Payet, Hugo Lloris and Paul Pogba.

Here's the full squad that will face Luxembourg and Spain next week.

But Kylian Mbappe is not the only player making his debut with the National Team. Benjamin Mendy, Florian Thauvin and Corentin Tolisso will also play for Les Bleus' senior team for the first time.

Deschamps decided to snub Karim Benzema one more time, as his legal problems are yet to be solved. Nevertheless, the coach shared his views on Mbappe's future and what he expects from him during these games.
