Djibril Cisse has again missed out on a major tournament for France after being left out of Raymond Domenech's 23-man squad for Euro 2008 in favour of St Etienne striker Bafetimbi Gomis.
Former Liverpool forward Cisse, who missed the 2006 World Cup after breaking his leg in a warm-up game, has been omitted despite the fact 22-year-old Gomis has only one previous cap for Les Bleus.
Marseille youngster Samir Nasri has been preferred to Lyon protege Hatem Ben Arfa, while uncapped goalkeeper Steve Mandanda, Nasri's club team-mate, is picked ahead of Paris St Germain's Mickael Landreau.
In defence, Lyon duo Jean-Alain Boumsong and Sebastien Squillaci have been included ahead of Julien Escude and the injured Philippe Mexes.
Bordeaux's Alou Diarra and former Arsenal midfielder Mathieu Flamini were also cut from Domenech's preliminary squad.
France kick off their campaign against Romania on June 9 before facing Holland and Italy in their remaining Group C fixtures.
