PSG's Presnel Kimpembe replaces Eliaquim Mangala in France squad

Paris Saint-Germain defender Presnel Kimpembe has earned his first call-up to the France squad, replacing the injured Eliaquim Mangala.

Kimpembe, 21, has made six starts in Ligue 1 this season for Unai Emery's side and will now get a chance to impress France boss Didier Deschamps in the World Cup qualifiers against Netherlands and Bulgaria.

Mangala was only called up to the team to replace Jeremy Mathieu, but a thigh injury will keep the Valencia man from playing for Les Bleus.

France are looking for their first win of the campaign after a disappointing goalless draw in their Group A opener against Belarus.
