Franck Ribery has been ruled out of the FIFA World Cup, throwing France’s plans into disarray.
The Bayern Munich winger was an unused substitute in the 4-0 victory over Norway on May 27, and failed to make the squad for last Sunday’s 1-1 draw with Paraguay.
Ribery had provided hope that he could feature after returning to training on Thursday, but the 31-year-old has not sufficiently recovered in time to take part in Brazil.
