France call up Juve quartet Thursday 29 September, 2005
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
France boss Raymond Domenech has selected four Juventus players for the World Cup qualifiers with Switzerland and Cyprus.
David Trezeguet, Patrick Vieira, Lilian Thuram and Jonathan Zebina, despite his recent injury problems, have been called up.
Former Juve hero Zinedine Zidane is also included after he recovered from a groin strain he picked up in the 1-0 win in Ireland this month.
The Real Madrid player hopes to be fully fit in time for the crucial qualifier against the Swiss in Berne on October 8.
Currently joint top of Group 4 with Switzerland, the French finish their campaign against Cyprus at the Stade de France on October 12.
Star striker Thierry Henry, another former Old Lady player, is still out with a groin injury though.
Goalkeepers: Grégory Coupet (Lyon), Mickaël Landreau (Nantes).
Defenders: Jean-Alain Boumsong (Newcastle), William Gallas (Chelsea), Gaël Givet (Monaco), Anthony Réveillère (Lyon), Willy Sagnol (Bayern Munich), Sébastien Squillaci (Monaco), Lilian Thuram (Juventus), Jonathan Zebina (Juventus).
Midfielders: Vikash Dhorasoo (Paris SG), Alou Diarra (Lens), Claude Makelele (Chelsea), Florent Malouda (Lyon), Patrick Vieira (Juventus), Zinédine Zidane (Real Madrid).
Strikers: Djibril Cissé (Liverpool), Ludovic Giuly (Barcelona), Sidney Govou (Lyon), Peguy Luyindula (Auxerre), David Trezeguet (Juventus), Sylvain Wiltord (Lyon).

My only hope is that none of our players will be injured again.
Ever since Thuram was injured during the France qualifiers, Capello is furious. Personally I don't think that Thuram is actually needed. There should be a replacement for Thuram.
