Wesley Fofana could make his first appearance in this year's RBS 6 Nations after being named in the French squad to prepare for next Sunday's clash with Scotland.
The Clermont centre missed the start of the Championship with a rib injury, but made his playing return this weekend in the Top 14.
And as a result he has been called into the French set-up by Guy Novès as one of two new faces in the 31-man squad.

Scott Speddng, Fofana's Clermont teammate, also returns having had to pull out of last Friday's defeat to Wales.
Due to injuries and the quick turnaround, France had been training with just 30 players ahead of the Welsh clash, but Spedding and Fofana have pushed them back up to 31.
That means there is only one player who has dropped out, with Jean-Marc Doussain staying with club side Toulouse.
France are aiming to get back to winning ways after falling to their first loss of the campaign against Wales in Cardiff last week.
Their last defeat to Scotland came in 2006, also at BT Murrayfield, but the Scots ended a run of nine straight Championship losses with their win over Italy last time out.
