France defender Eric Abidal will miss the second leg of the World Cup play-off against the Republic of Ireland on Wednesday night due to a thigh injury.
The Barcelona full-back played the full 90 minutes of last night's 1-0 win at Croke Park but sustained the problem in his left leg and won't be available for the return at the Stade de France.
Lyon midfielder Jeremy Toulalan has also been ruled out.
Toulalan has not recovered from the hamstring injury which kept him out of the game in Dublin.
Both men left France's training centre at Clairefontaine this evening and will not be replaced by coach Raymond Domenech.
