Manchester United pair Paul Pogba and Anthony Martial replaced by Alexandre Lacazette and Moussa Sissoko in France squad
The two Red Devils withdrew from their national squad due to injury
Manchester United stars Paul Pogba and Anthony Martial have withdrawn from the France squad due to injury.
Arsenal forward Alexandre Lacazette and Tottenham midfielder Moussa Sissoko will replace the Red Devils pair for the Nations League match against Holland and friendly with Uruguay.
Pogba was absent from the United squad which was beaten 3-1 at Manchester City on Sunday, with Martial completing the full game.
The French Football Federation confirmed on Monday neither player would be involved for the world champions over the international break.
A post on the France national team Twitter feed said Pogba's injury was a thigh problem, while Martial had an abductor-related issue.
Both players had reported to the squad's base at Clairefontaine and been assessed by Dr Franck Le Gall.
Martial had been recalled to the squad for the first time since his controversial World Cup exclusion. Sissoko and Lacazette were not part of the squad which triumphed in Russia either.
France can secure top spot in Nations League Group A and qualification for the finals when they tackle Holland in Rotterdam on November 16.
