Didier Deschamps will call up Karim Benzema to France's 26-man squad for Euro 2020. The decision comes more than five years since Benzema's last cap.

Deschamps and Benzema fell out over Benzema's alleged involvement in the Mathieu Valbuena sex tape scandal.

In an interview with Spanish newspaper Marca, Benzema accused Deschamps of having "bowed to the pressure of a racist part of France" when agreeing to leave him out of the squad.

Benzema has scored 22 goals and eight assists in 33 league matches this season.
