Les Bleus manager Raymond Domenech has called up Fiorentina keeper Sebastian Frey to the squad preparing for the game in Sochaux, the FFF added in a short statement on their website.

However, Paris St Germain shot-stopper Mickael Landreau is likely to start for the World Cup finalists.

Lyon's Coupet was the second-choice goalie during the World Cup this summer trailing behind experienced Fabien Barthez who announced his retirement of the game last week.
