Bayern Munich’s Franck Ribery left out of France squad to face Chile in a friendly international
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chile-c2871 in a friendly international on Wednesday, August 10, at Montpellier. Blanc mentioned that it would have been harsh on the winger to be called
to the squad after making his comeback on just.
For their part, the Bavarian officials have hailed the decision taken by the French manager, who kept the player and club’s needs in perspective.
Ribery, on the other hand, believes that he would have made the starting Xi for his country but was unwilling to risk a recurrence of the injury. He further told that there is still a fifty percent chance of him making the Bayern Munich line-up for the opening
game and the situation will be cleared by tomorrow, when a final training session would be conducted ahead of the game on Sunday.
Meanwhile, Laurent Blanc enthused that dropping a player like Ribery was a tough ask but there are a lot other quality players in the squad who could run over any side. The squad called up the tactician is as follows:
Goalkeepers: Cedric Carrasso (Girondins de Bordeaux), http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Steve-Mandanda-c34177 (Olympique Marseille).
