According to Onze Mondial, Saël Kumbedi has been called up to the French national team by Zinédine Zidane, despite playing in the German second division. The player thus enters a select circle.

Before him, players like Trezeguet and Barthez had already been called up to the Bleus while playing in the second division, according to RMC Sport and Onze Mondial. Kumbedi's case is therefore added to this list.
