Fofana, 19, joined the Club from Ligue 1 side AS Saint-Étienne earlier this month and made his Under-21s debut for Les Bleus in a 5-0 victory over Liechtenstein on Thursday evening.

The home side's only goal of the game came in the 22nd minute as Sevilla defender Jules Koundé got on the end of Amine Gouiri's free-kick at Stade de la Meinau in Strasbourg.

The result sees Sylvain Ripoll's young French outfit go level on 21 points with Switzerland in UEFA U21 EURO qualifying Group B, 12 points clear of third-placed Slovakia.
