Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud DROPPED for France’s World Cup play-off game
The striker has paid the price for a under-par performance in Kyiv, along with on-loan Newcastle forward Loic Remy and Manchester City’s Samir Nasri.
Reports surfacing in France indicate Didier Deschamps will hand Real Madrid’s Karim Benzema his first start in five games instead.
Liverpool’s Mamadou Sakho is expected to start along with Newcastle’s Yohan Cabaye.
