Louis leaves French squad

Louis Saha will miss France's Euro 2008 qualifiers against the Faroe Islands and Lithuania with a knee injury.

The United striker was called up for his country's Group B double-header, but left the French training camp in Clairefontaine on Tuesday, and the French Football Federation confirmed he will not be replaced in the squad.

The 29-year-old was a precautionary withdrawal from last Saturday's United squad to face Wigan, after feeling a twinge in the same knee which was injured for the second half of last season.

Saha will now return to Manchester to continue his rehabilitation.
