Ribery rulled out of World Cup
Star winger Franck Ribery was ruled out of the
World Cup on Friday dealing a huge blow to France's
hopes of lifting the trophy in Brazil.
The 31-year-old Bayern Munich forward's failure to
recover from a nagging back injury was confirmed by
coach Didier Deschamps at a press conference.
Deschamps announced that midfielder Clement Grenier
would also miss the World Cup because of a thigh
injury he suffered in the 1-1 draw with Paraguay last
Sunday.
Deschamps called up Montpellier attacking midfielder
Remy Cabella and Southampton midfielder Morgan
Schneiderlin as replacements.
