French striker David Trezeguet will miss the game with Ireland in September after he was been banned for two matches by FIFA for headbutting an opponent during last month's 1-1 draw against Israel in a World Cup qualifier.
"That is the minimum for a player hitting another player," said a spokesman for the French football federation.
Trezeguet will also miss France's Group 4 qualifier against the Faroe Islands on September 3.
The Juventus striker will be back for France's last two qualifiers in Switzerland on October 8 and against Cyprus on October 12.
