Lacazette has been drafted into the team following an injury to Manchester United winger Anthony Martial.
Martial pulled out of the squad earlier today, with Lacazette now getting the call to play a part in their Nations League games this week.
Lacazette has not been capped by France since 2017 and was not named in their squad for the World Cup in the summer – which they went on to win.
Despite his impressive form for Arsenal this season, Lacazette was not named in France’s initial squad.
Olivier Giroud – who was scored one goal in 12 appearances for Chelsea this season – was selected by France.
