Martial, Lacazette, Payet miss out on France's 23-man World Cup squad

Didier Deschamps has named his 23 men.

France's manager revealed his final squad list for the World Cup, electing to leave Manchester United forward Anthony Martial and Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette on an 11-man reserve list.

Dimitri Payet, who had to leave Marseille's Europa League final loss against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday with an injury, was left off the squad entirely.

The positions break down as follows:

GK: Alphonse Areola (Paris Saint-Germain), Hugo Lloris (Tottenham), Steve Mandanda (Marseille)

DF: Lucas Hernandez (Atletico Madrid), Presnel Kimpembe (Paris Saint-Germain), Benjamin Mendy (Manchester City), Benjamin Pavard (Stuttgart), Adil Rami (Marseille), Djibril Sidibe (Monaco), Samuel Umtiti (Barcelona), Raphael Varane (Real Madrid)

MF: N'Golo Kante (Chelsea), Blaise Matuidi (Juventus), Steven Nzonzi (Sevilla), Paul Pogba (Manchester United), Corentin Tolisso (Bayern Munich)

FW: Ousmane Dembele (Barcelona), Nabil Fekir (Lyon), Olivier Giroud (Chelsea), Antoine Griezmann (Atletico Madrid), Thomas Lemar (Monaco), Kylian Mbappe (Paris Saint-Germain), Florian Thauvin (Marseille)

On the reserves, Martial and Lacazette join an impressive list of names that couldn't find a spot on the formidable main squad.

France opens its World Cup campaign against Australia on June 16 in Kazan, Russia before facing Peru and then Denmark in Group C.
