Former Arsenal striker Thierry Henry will miss the match through injury. His absence has boosted David Trezeguet's hopes of playing some part tonight, seven months on from his last appearance for his country when they were famously beaten by Scotland.
The Juventus striker has dismissed the theory his chances of making France's Euro 2008 squad are dependent on his display tonight.
"Even if this is the last game before the squad is announced, I don't feel I have to play a big match," said Trezeguet. "It isn't just based on this match that I will figure in the list."
