Cameroon-born Jeando Fuchs played alongside Kylian Mbappe when France won the 2016 European Under-19 Championship
Jeando Fuchs who won the 2016 European Under-19 Championship with France, has committed his international future to Cameroon.
He was born in Cameroon and is eligible for them as he has not played a senior competitive international for France.
Fuchs has been called up to Cameroon's squad for an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in Morocco and a friendly against Brazil
The 21-year-old currently features for Sochaux in France's Ligue 2.
The defensive midfielder, who played alongside Kylian Mbappe in the French under-19 side, also featured at the 2017 Under-20 World Cup for France.
There is also a recall after a four-year absence for Turkey-based Jean-Armel Kana-Biyik.
His last appearance for the Indomitable Lions was as a substitute in a 5-1 friendly loss to Portugal in February 2014.
The 29-year-old, son of former Cameroon international Andre Kana-Biyik, has declined recent call ups.
Also back in the squad is Nations Cup winning midfielder Arnaud Djoum, the Hearts player last played in a 1-1 draw with perennial rivals Nigeria on 4 September 2017.
Marseille forward Clinton Njie also returns after missing Cameroon's last four qualifiers while Christian Bassogog and Stephane Bahoken return from injury after being ruled out of October's back-to-back games against Malawi.
Cameroon qualify for the 2019 Nations Cup finals as hosts but Morocco still need to secure the one place available from Group B.
