France fret over Givet

Monaco defender Gael Givet is a doubtful starter for France's last two World Cup qualifiers because of a thigh injury, according to a French team spokesman.

Givet will join France's training camp outside Paris on Monday to see the doctor, but it is very unlikely that he will play the matches away to Switzerland on October 8 and at home against Cyprus four days later.

Givet's club Monaco said he would be unavailable for at least ten days because of a sore right thigh muscle.

Switzerland and France top Group Four with 16 points from eight games. Victory against the Swiss would guarantee qualification for the French.
