[Korinov]

Yes, he missed the end of the season due to injury. And now it seems M'Vila is injured too.

[vinnie]

I thought he was fine. where'd you hear that?

[anonyme]

why is there no toulalan? he was great this year, did he get injured or something?

He will never play for NT anymore with Laurent Blanc as the coach. They had conflict together when Toulalan was at Lyon. It's bad but sometimes a coach prefer a player without a football explanation. For example, how can we believe that Gourcuff was on the previous list when there are a lot of better AMF than him in French leagues.

@ Korinov: M'Villa was injured yesterday after two minutes against Serbia but it's appear to be not an important injury. He will play the euro.


edit: Sorry I forgot to say: For the formation, according to yesterday, I think it will be more a 4-3-3 with Ribéry/Benzema/Nasri on attack. Malouda will play as a CMF/AMF on mieldfield where he was very good against Serbia.
