Andy Diouf, France rather than Senegal?
Description
Having made a notable start to the season with Inter Milan, Andy Diouf sees his name circulating insistently around the France national team. A first call-up to Les A would be the culmination of a decision made by the Franco-Senegalese player in 2023, when he chose the Bleuets despite approaches from Senegal. Three years later, the question of his international future is back in the spotlight.
