Les Bleus won the World Cup last month, and unsurprisingly Coach Didier Deschamps had opted to keep faith with the squad which triumphed in Russia.
France coach Didier Deschamps has made a solitary change to the 23-man squad that lifted the World Cup in Russia with Benoit Costil replacing Steve Mandanda.
The world champions will begin their UEFA Nations League campaign against Germany on September 6, before hosting Netherlands in Group 1 three days later.
Unsurprisingly, Deschamps has kept faith with the squad who secured a second global title for France last month, with Mandanda only missing out due to injury.
Marseille goalkeeper Mandanda suffered a torn hamstring during his side's shock Ligue 1 defeat to Nimes on August 19, the 33-year-old expected to be sidelined for up to four weeks.
That hands Bordeaux keeper Costil a chance to add to the single cap he has to his name.
Otherwise, France will go into the two matches with their European neighbours at full strength, with the likes of Paul Pogba, Antoine Griezmann, Kylian Mbappe and Raphael Varane all included.
Number one goalkeeper Hugo Lloris also retains his place despite being charged with drink driving last week.
The full squad:
Goalkeepers: Alphonse Areola [Paris Saint-Germain], Benoit Costil [Bordeaux], Hugo Lloris [Tottenham Hotspur]
Defenders: Lucas Hernandez [Atletico Madrid], Benjamin Pavard [Stuttgart], Samuel Umtiti [Barcelona], Presnel Kimpembe [Paris Saint-Germain], Adil Rami [Marseille], Raphael Varane [Real Madrid], Benjamin Mendy [Manchester City], Djibril Sidibe [Monaco]
Midfielders: N’Golo Kanté [Chelsea], Paul Pogba [Manchester United], Blaise Matuidi [Juventus], Corentin Tolisso [Lyon], Steven Nzonzi [Roma]
Forwards: Moussa Dembélé [Barcelona], Antoine Griezmann [Atletico Madrid], Florian Thauvin [Marseille], Nabil Fakir [Lyon], Olivier Giroud [Chelsea], Kylian Mbappé [Paris Saint-Germain]

I don't really understand why Deschamps is doing this to Benzema.....he want to tell us that Giroud is better than Benzema or what?...or Giroud give his winning bonus to the coach so that he will call him all the time...someone who didn't get any short on target at the world cup is that one too a striker. ....I feel very sad for Benzema the way this coach is treating him in the national team

The list looks okay so many talented players after all. it's the same squad France used to win. the World Cup. only with some certain changes... I hope. areola is given more. playing time. he needs to. improve himself considering the fact that he's not first choice at psg and Giroud needs to take lessons on. how shoot and I. hope he aims well when. he does... Good Luck
