No surprise as players are starting to suffer the toils of a long season - Newcastle's right back Debuchy had to
drop out of the French squad. He will be replaced by Rod Fanni from Marseilles. Deschamps will now have to decided between taking either the starting right back from PSG or Marseilles. The irony. My sense is that look for the PSG right back to get the nod.

| Hello again old friend! |
There are other knocks to keep an eye on. Ribery, Menez and Cabaye were all training
separate from the main squad to rest their ailing bodies. No surprise with Ribery, I do not think anyone thought he would play on Friday against Georgia, instead look for him to be rested for the Spain game. Might we see both other midfielders also left on the sideline?
Could we see the likes of Remy and Payet occupying the wide space with Valbuena behind Benzema? Gonalons and Matuidi might be leveraged to run the midfield engine. This would allow Cabaye, Ribery and Menez to get extra rest prior to the Spain match.
The other question is who does Deschamps start as his
central defensive pairing? Really have no idea what DD will do with that issue. Could we see Varane get a start?
Rest of week will be very telling. Let us hope that no one else has to drop out of camp.
