The French national team will face Bosnia and Herzegovina in the second European Championship qualifying match without three forwards - Guillaume Hoarau, Loic Remy, and Louis Saha due to injuries.

Hoarau (shoulder injury), Remy (groin), and Saha (Achilles) got injured in Friday's match against Belarus, which the French team surprisingly lost 0-1 at home.

National team coach Laurent Blanc complained after the initial failure that the team lacked goal-scoring players, so he called up Jimmy Briand, who will travel with the team to Sarajevo.

However, there were also some better news for the French team - Karim Benzema, who missed the game against Belarus due to injury, has recovered.
