Landreau: Rame replacement
(GaryMPrior/Allsport) |
Girondins Bordeaux's Rame had to pull out with a knee injury and missed his club's 1-0 league win at Montpellier on Saturday.
Landreau, captain of the team that were runners-up in the European Under-21 championship in June, won his only full cap in the 4-0 win
over Mexico in last year's Confederations Cup in South Korea, which France won by beating Japan in the final.
Olympique Lyon's Gregory Coupet, who played well in his club's 1-1 draw at Olympique Marseille on Friday, is likely to start Wednesday's
match in Tunisia with Landreau on the bench.
