Bayern Munich winger Kingsley Coman has been called up to the senior France squad for the first time, while Andre-Pierre Gignac and Hatem Ben Arfa are recalled for the games against England and Germany.

Lyon winger Mathieu Valbuena has been left out after the injured Karim Benzema was charged on Thursday with conspiracy to blackmail and participating in a criminal group as part of an investigation over a sex tape involving his international teammate.

France boss Didier Deschamps said he was looking forward to working with Coman, 19, who has impressed for Bayern since joining on loan from Juventus this season.

"He's a young player who really has very, very big potential," he said.

"He has the ability to accelerate and to make an impact. He can play in several positions on both sides.

"So he's interesting -- I wanted to see him, too, before the final decision [on the Euro 2016 squad]."

Deschamps said Gignac, 29, had shone with 10 goals in 13 league games since signing for Mexican giants Tigres.

"He continues to score goals," the coach said. "He's still part of the larger squad. Now I've taken the decision to recall him in the wake of Karim's injury.

"It's up to him to take advantage of his two appearances and the game time he'll get."

Nice attacker Ben Arfa returns for the first time since June 2012 as France face world champions Germany in Paris on Nov. 13 and England at Wembley on Nov. 17.
