Duo face international dilemma

Two of Le Championnat's young stars are debating whether to represent France.

Two of Le Championnat's best young players are waiting to decide whether to declare their international future to France.

Beniot Assou-Ekotto and Chaouki Ben Saada were both born in France, although could chose to play for Cameroon and Tunisia respectively.

The duo have made a name for themselves in their home country recently, with Bastia's Ben Saada having already played for the French Under 21 side.

However the forward was recently called up by Tunisia boss Roger Lemerre, and faces a dilemma as to where his senior international future lies.

Lens stopper Assou-Ekotto (pictured) has also been called upon by Cameroon manager Artur Jorge although has not made a full appearance to date.

The 20-year-old is waiting to see whether he will be asked to represent the France Under 21 side.
