Two Parisians get les Bleus call
Two Paris Saint-Germain Germain Handball players were called up by Didier Dinart to join the France squad for the two upcoming Euro 2020 qualifiers in June.
The men of the moment are Nedim Remili and Luka Karabatic (Nikola Karabatic was unavailable for selection), who will help The Experts in their bid to qualify for the next Euros, which will be played in Austria, Norway and Sweden in January of next year. With six points in the bank already, France sit atop Group 6 needing just one more point to officially book their seat at the finals. That point could come in Lithuania on 13 June or three days later in Nantes, against Romania.
