France players arrive at team base in Clairefontaine ahead of internationals

The stars of the France team were out in full force in Clairefontaine on Monday as Antoine Griezmann and Co arrived for their first training session ahead of the international period.

Atletico Madrid's star striker arrived wearing a Seattle Supersonics jersey with Gary Payton's No 20 on it, which has become something of a collectors' item after the team were relocated to Oklahoma in 2008.

His NBA jersey was nothing compared to the wardrobe choice of former West Ham star Dimitri Payet, however, who turned up wearing a £200 t-shirt from high-end brand Dsquared2.

FRANCE FIXTURES

June 2: France v Paraguay (friendly)

June 9: Sweden v France (WC qualifier)

June 13: France v England (friendly)

Monaco starlet Kylian Mbappe, who was recently linked with £113million move to Real Madrid, displayed his down-to-earth personality with a simple Nike t-shirt, which was probably given to him for free by his happy sponsors.

He was joined by his Monaco team-mates Thomas Lemar, Benjamin Mendy and Djibril Sidibe, all of whom will be on a high after winning the club's first Ligue 1 title in 17 years and reaching the Champions League semi-finals.

Alexandre Lacazette, fresh from another fantastic season at Lyon in which he scored 28 league goals, was also in attendance.

It was the first day of training at their national team base on the outskirts of Paris as they head into three fixtures over the next two weeks, the last of which is against England at the Stade de France on June 13.

First, France play South American outfit Paraguay in a friendly at Lorient's Roazhon Park before travelling to Stockholm to face Sweden in a crucial World Cup qualifier.

Les Bleus lead Sweden in Group A by three points, meaning a win would put them six ahead and well on course for Russia next summer. However, a defeat will see them drop to second with just four games remaining.
