Lloris and Theo Hernandez drop out of France squad as Lafont wins first call-up
Hugo Lloris and Theo Hernandez have withdrawn from the France squad for this week's Nations League matches against Austria and Denmark.
France are already without a number of key players for the double-header, with Paul Pogba, N'Golo Kante, Karim Benzema, Lucas Hernandez and Kingsley Coman all sidelined.
Adrien Rabiot withdrew from the squad last week and Didier Deschamps is now without two other players for the visit to Austria on Thursday and the trip to Denmark three days later.
France confirmed on Monday that Tottenham goalkeeper Lloris and Milan defender Theo Hernandez are nursing thigh and groin injuries respectively.
Nantes goalkeeper Alban Lafont got a first call-up to replace captain Lloris, while Aston Villa's Lucas Digne was called up to replace Theo Hernandez.
France have drawn two and two losses in their first four Group A1 matches and are battling relegation from the top division.
