Robert Pires has, once again, been left out of the 20-man squad for next Wednesday's international friendly against Sweden at the Stade de France.
The Arsenal midfielder was initially omitted for the clash with Poland in November after criticising coach Raymond Domenech.
He has since apologised and Domenech insisted Pires was still very much in his thoughts for the World Cup qualifying programme.
But it seems Pires has been overlooked in favour of AC Milan's Vikash Dhorasoo, who returns to the squad after seeing more playing time with the Rossoneri.
Another Serie A star, David Trezeguet of Juventus, is also back after overcoming a shoulder injury.
