Diarra to miss World Cup due to stomach complaint
TIGNES, France — France midfielder Lassana Diarra has been ruled out of the World Cup because of a stomach complaint.
The Real Madrid midfielder missed all of Saturday’s training session. He also did not train on Thursday and Friday in the French Alpine resort of Tignes.
France team media officer Francois Manardo says “medical tests have revealed an unforeseeable illness which justifies a rest period.”
France coach Raymond Domenech has not yet called up a replacement for Diarra, a regular in the qualifying matches.
