France v South Africa Preview

By on June 22, 2010

After a turbulent week for the France squad, coach Raymond Domenech will be looking forward to concentrating on the football as Les Bleus take on South Africa.

With striker Nicolas Anelka expelled from the squad, Andre-Pierre Gignac looks set to replace the Chelsea forward in attack.

Domenech will be forced also to reshuffle his midfield to replace the suspended Jeremy Toulalan. Youann Gourcuff is the main most likely to step in.

South Africa manager has a number of suspensions to deal with. Fulham midfielder Kagisho Dikgacoi and goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune are both suspended. Moeneeb Jospehs is favourite to replace Khune between the sticks.

Both sides have a number of players one card away from suspension including South Africa’s Steven Pienaar and France’s Franck Ribery.

KICK-OFF: TUESDAY JUNE 22nd 15:00 GMT
