MOUSSA DEMBELE is in line to make his France debut against Wales.
The in-form Celtic striker has been selected in a provisional squad for the upcoming friendlies with the Dragons and Germany.
And he will have a huge chance to impress as the Hoops take on Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Tuesday night.
SunSport understands the Celtic striker has been put on standby by national coach Didier Deschamps ahead of the double-header. The final French squad will be named on Thursday – making tomorrow's visit from the Bundesliga giants perfect stage for Dembele, 21, to showcase his talent. In a massive boost for boss Brendan Rodgers, Bayern confirmed that Robert Lewandowski has not travelled to Glasgow with his team-mates for the Champions League encounter at Celtic Park. The Poland striker went off with a thigh injury as Bayern beat Leipzig at the weekend.
And Bayern coach Jupp Heynckes is taking no risks ahead of Saturday's trip to face Borussia Dortmund. Deschamps has been monitoring the Hoops hitman since last season after being impressed by his European form. Dembele has been a regular for the France Under-21s – and faces stiff competition at senior level.
But his provisional selection is a major boost for the Celtic man – who scored four goals in two games against Hibs and Aberdeen last week.
France play Wales on Friday night, and then travel to Koln for a friendly with Germany.
