Premier League trio Olivier Giroud, Samir Nasri and Loic Remy have all reportedly been dropped by manager Didier Deschamps ahead of France's clash with Ukraine on Tuesday.

Les Bleus go into the second leg of their World Cup qualifying playoff tie in Paris on the back of a 2-0 defeat in Kiev on Friday.

According to L'Equipe, Giroud, Nasri and Remy will all have to settle for a place on the bench, while Eric Abidal and the suspended Laurent Koscielny will also miss out.

Raphael Varane, Liverpool's Mamadou Sakho, Newcastle United midfielder Yohan Cabaye, Mathieu Valbuena and Karim Benzema will all come into the starting lineup.
