In a few hours, the players of the France team will meet at the Château de Clairefontaine to begin the adventure of the Euro.
Among them, Karim Benzema is making his return to the Blues.
The whole team will be gathered in a few days to train with the start of the competition next June.
His summons did not go unnoticed by football fans in France.
After a long sidelining, Karim Benzema is back in the France team.
The Real de Madrid striker is expected this Wednesday morning at Clairefontaine to mark the start of the Euro adventure.
The 33-year-old Frenchman has not set foot on the lawns of the National Technical Center since his last selection in 2015.

If the Château de Clairefontaine has evolved, just like the grounds over the past five years, Karim Benzema should not be disoriented.
At his side, he will find former players with whom he made his last selection, like Hugo Lloris, Raphaël Varane or his Real de Madrid teammate, Antoine Griezmann.
The team fully assembled in a few days
"I have the impression that there is a certain solidarity with Karim Benzema. I believe that the season he has had with Real Madrid gives him exceptional credibility," notes the former international Laurent Fournier, who believes that the reunion between the players of the France team and Karim Benzema will be warm.
For the supporters who are waiting for the photo reuniting the Real Madrid striker and Olivier Giroud, it will still be necessary to wait. The Chelsea player is retained by his club, with which he will play the final of the Champions League. The second highest scorer in the history of the Blues will not be the only absent this Wednesday. Only 22 of the team's 26 players will be present for this reunion. In addition to Olivier Giroud, N'Golo Kanté and Kurt Zouma will also play this final. For his part, Paul Pogba will quickly join the Blues after the Europa League final on Wednesday evening.
