The midfielder sustained a right thigh injury on Thursday and was substituted in the 20th minute of AS Roma’s Europa League match with Bologna, which finished 3-4.

He will not join the squad for the trip, with France playing Brazil on Thursday 26 March and Colombia on Sunday 29 March.

On Sunday, centre-back William Saliba also withdrew with an ankle issue and was replaced by Maxence Lacroix, who receives his first call-up.
