Arsenal's Bacary Sagna is likely to be out of action for around three months after breaking his leg in a 2-1 North London derby defeat to Tottenham Hotspur.
Sagna was taken off the pitch on a stretcher after falling badly in the 68th minute and news of the break was later revealed by the French Football Federation.
The right-back had been due to link up with the national side but has been replaced by Lille's Mathieu Debuchy.
France, who will be without Sagna for the games against Albania and Bosnia and Herzegovina, released the following statement: "The doctor of the France team, Fabrice Bryand, was informed by fellow Arsenal of a fracture to the right fibula of Bacary Sagna.
