Having already lost Benjamin Mendy and Laurent Koscielny France saw another defender pull out of their crucial World Cup qualifiers after PSG's in-form Layvin Kurzawa cut his knee in training. The left back would likely have started for France as they take on Bulgaria on Saturday and Belarus three days later knowing they may still need all six points to book a direct berth for the 2018 World Cup. The French football federation said Kurzawa had clashed with Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud in Monday's training session, and has been replaced in the squad by Marseille's Jordan Amavi.
