Marseille star Dimitri Payet was left out of France’s World Cup squad announced by coach Didier Deschamps on Thursday
Dimitri Payet was forced off with a hamstring injury in Marseille’s Europa League final defeat against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday, and that fitness doubt persuaded Deschamps to leave him out of the squad.
Payet was one of France’s stars at Euro 2016, when they reached the final as hosts before losing to Portugal.
