Désiré Doué could miss France start against Colombia due to back pain

Désiré Doué could miss out on a starting berth for France against Colombia on Sunday in Washington, with kick-off at 21:00, due to a back problem.

According to L'Équipe, he has been suffering from back pain and had been earmarked to begin on the left. As of Friday evening, the feeling was he would not start.

Didier Deschamps may need to rethink his plans for the second friendly of the United States tour. After Thursday's 2-1 win over Brazil, he had intended to change almost his entire XI.

That level of rotation might now be scaled back if Doué is not fit to begin. His condition will be assessed before the match.

Whether he starts or not could shape the extent of any changes.
