Morgan Amalfitano (Marseilles) and Louis Saha (Tottenham) belong to this list.

It is about the first convocation of the Marseillais, whose name regularly returned per hour to evoke the possible surprised ones. Personally, I know it well, commented on the selector. It is somebody who interested me when I was trainer of Bordeaux and when he played Sedan. Technically, it is very strong. In the use of the balloon it often makes the good choices and I think that it has a quality of center interesting for this match. Concerning Louis Saha, his last match with the team of France goes back to September 3, 2010 against Bielorussia. Another return, that of Philippe Mexès. The central defender of AC Milan returns in the group after long months of absence, consecutive with a wound with a knee. Bacary Sagna, on the other hand, also returned to him from wound with Arsenal, was not retained.

With three months and half of the Euro in Poland and Ukraine (June 8-July 1), and against one of the favourites of the competition, the list of the selector of Blue was particularly awaited. But it must also be read with the ell of the absences, sometimes of size, certain players. Benzema (Real Madrid), Rémy (Marseilles), Diaby (Arsenal), all casualties, miss thus with the call.
