As stated by the French national team strategist Raymond Domenech on Tuesday, French national team forwards will not be able to help their national team in the 2008 European Championship qualifying Group B match against Scotland due to injuries.
"Man Utd" forward L. Saha, whose precise strike gave the "Red Devils" a victory with a score of 1-0 in the UEFA Champions League Group F match against "Benfica" and helped the team become the group leader, suffered a long-term groin injury in that match.
Meanwhile, "Lyon" forward S. Govou suffered an ankle injury on Saturday in the 8th round match of the "Ligue 1" championship against the "Sochaux" team, which the multiple French champions defeated 1-0.
"We will see how everything ends," - said R. Domenech to the media during the French team's training session, who recently extended his contract with "Les Bleus" and will now lead them until 2010 - "We still have some time left."
