France travel to Hampden Park tomorrow to take on table-toppers Scotland in Group B with both sides boasting 100% records so far, kick-off 5.00pm.
Kenny Miller is banned and James McFadden may start for Scotland after recovering from a hamstring injury.
David Weir has only made two substitute appearances for Everton this season but is likely to play with fellow defenders Gary Naysmith, Graeme Murty, Kevin McNaughton, Andy Webster, Jackie McNamara and Steven Smith unavailable.
Scotland may be forced to play Christian Dailly and Graham Alexander out of position.
France have called up Bolton striker Nicolas Anelka and Lyon defender Sebastien Squillaci as cover.
Scotland top Group B after a 6-0 win over the Faroes and a 2-1 victory in Lithuania.
Those victories followed the Kirin Cup triumph in May where the Scots thumped Bulgaria 5-1 and drew with hosts Japan.
And Scotland have a good record against the top nations at Hampden Park, where they have held Germany and Italy to 1-1 draws and beaten Holland since 2003.
France started their campaign with a 3-0 triumph in Georgia before avenging the World Cup final defeat with a 3-1 victory over Italy in Paris.
They have lost just once in 40 qualifying games since failing to reach the 1994 World Cup.
