France Drop 5 including Captain Evra

Raymond Domenech has brought in five new players. Obviously, Nicolas Anelka, who was sent home after an argument with Domenech has been replaced up front, in this case by Djibril Cisse.

But captain Patrice Evra is also dropped. He delivered the note telling Domenech France were refusing to train yesterday.

France make four other changes, with Sebastien Squillachi, Alou Diarra, Yoann Gourcuff and Andre-Pierre Gignac coming in. Eric Abidal, Sidney Govou and Florent Malouda are also dropped.

Jeremy Toulalan is suspended.
