Samir Nasri has been ruled out of France's friendly with
Sweden on Wednesday because of a thigh strain.
The Arsenal midfielder was called into Les Bleus' squad on
Monday following the withdrawal of winger Hatem Ben Arfa, who
injured his adductors at the weekend.
But Nasri will not board Tuesday's flight to Gothenburg, the
French Football Federation confirmed on their website.
The former Marseille playmaker has been struggling with a thigh
injury for the past couple of weeks, although he was able to start
for the Gunners in their Premier League curtain-raiser against West
Brom on Saturday.
Nasri, making his debut for the north London club, scored the
only goal of that game.
France have confirmed they will not be calling up another player
to replace Nasri, so they will travel to Sweden with a 19-man
squad.
