The Sevilla striker who had been in phenomenal form throughout the season has also been missed out.

The 27-year old striker has eight goals in as many matches in UEFA Champions League, and he has also scored eight goals in his 17 league appearances for Sevilla.

At an international level, Ben Yedder represented France at under-21 level. He made his full international debut for France in March 2018.

After playing well for Sevilla, Didier included Ben Yedder in the squad for two friendly matches against Colombia and Russia.

On May 17, 2018, he was named on the standby list for the 23-man World Cup squad, but in the end, dreams shattered for the French forward.
