Jacquet named in provisional France squad after strong Liverpool start

Summary

Liverpool defender Jeremy Jacquet has been named in the provisional France squad by new coach Zinedine Zidane. This comes as Jacquet, signed from Rennes for £60m, makes an impressive start to his Liverpool career despite a truncated pre-season due to injury. His performances have led to recognition, and although he may not make the final squad announcement due Friday, his inclusion indicates his potential for a senior debut. France is set to compete against Turkey and Belgium in late September and will face Italy and Belgium again in early October as they prepare for the UEFA Nations League.
