Louis Saha has pulled out of the France squad for next week's friendly double-header against England and Mali.
The Manchester United striker had been picked along with nine other Premier League players in Raymond Domenech's 39-man party.
However, he has now withdrawn for an unspecified reason and will be replaced by Recreativo Huelva forward Florent Sinama-Pongolle.
Domenech will select an 'B' team to face Mali on Tuesday and France will then tackle England at Stade de France a day later.
I have a feeling that he did it to avoid any injuries as we're coming closer to run-in.. I think that he wants to give 100% for the club. If my assumptions are correct than we should appreciate that coz it is not easy to reject your national team in the eve of such an important tournament
