Desailly to miss out

Santini speaks
Jacques Santini said the Chelsea FC central defender had not recovered from a knee injury he suffered during the 0-0 friendly draw with Brazil last month. "Marcel will not start tomorrow," said the coach. "The tests he took showed that he is still far from the physical shape required to play for 90 minutes."

Zidane honour
France playmaker Zinedine Zidane will captain the defending champions for the Estádio da Luz fixture, while Lilian Thuram and Mikaël Silvestre are likely to be the centre-back pairing. Desailly will hope to be fit for France's next match against Croatia on 17 June.
