 "Lyon's Houssem Aouar out of France squad due to injury, says Didier Deschamps")
Paris: Lyon midfielder Houssem Aouar has been ruled out of France’s upcoming internationals after sustaining an injury in the win over Saint-Etienne, coach Didier Deschamps said on Monday.
Aouar was initially called up last week as a replacement for Nabil Fekir but instead joins the World Cup winner on the sidelines after hurting his thigh during Lyon’s 2-1 derby victory on Sunday.

Aouar made his international debut in the 7-1 home friendly win over Ukraine in October, but did not take part in the two following Nations League matches against Portugal and Croatia.
