French marksman David Trezeguet has been dropped from the French football squad.
Serie A top scorer David Trezeguet has failed to make it into an enlarged 36-man France squad for next week's friendly double-header against DR Congo and Spain.
The Juventus striker has scored 15 goals in the Italian top flight this season, but he remains out of favour for his country and is not one of the nine attackers named by coach Raymond Domenech.
Three players - Marseille goalkeeper Steve Mandanda, Arsenal left-back Gael Clichy and Monaco forward Jeremy Menez - are called up for the first time.
And there are returns for new Lyon signing Jean-Alain Boumsong, in-form Marseille striker Djibril Cisse and fit-again duo Patrick Vieira, the Les Bleus captain, and Willy Sagnol.
France will play DR Congo on Tuesday in an 'A' international and Spain in Malaga the following night in a full international.
Trezeguet's chances of making Domenech's 23-man Euro 2008 squad now appear all but over, although the France coach is not closing the door on any player with the tournament four months away.
