- Replaced by Lafont and Digne in the squad
WHAT HAPPENED? Didier Deschamps has been dealt another couple of injury blows as the World Cup edges closer. Hernandez and Lloris have been declared unavailable for the upcoming pair of Nations League fixtures.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Alban Lafont and Lucas Digne have been selected respectively in the absences of the aforementioned pair. Mike Maignan is likely to be the goalkeeper that replaces Lloris in the starting line-up against Austria and Denmark while Digne could be the first choice at left-back. Additionally, Paul Pogba and N'Golo Kante remain out with injuries.
AND WHAT'S MORE: While the problems for Hernandez and Lloris don't appear to be serious, there will be slight doubts over the fitness of the pair heading into the World Cup. The break for the tournament in Qatar is now just two months away.
