New France boss Didier Deschamps opts to leave Yann M'Vila and Hatem Ben Arfa out of his first squad after the duo were disciplined for their conduct at Euro 2012.

New France manager Didier Deschamps has left all four players who were disciplined for their behaviour during Euro 2012 out of his first squad.

Samir Nasri and Jeremy Menez had already been handed bans by the France Football Federation, but Yann M'Vila and Hatem Ben Arfa were available for selection, having only been given warnings.

However, Deschamps has chosen to stamp his authority on the squad by leaving the duo out in favour of uncapped trio Raphael Varane, Christophe Jallet and Etienne Capoue.

Deschamps has also opted to leave Lyon's Yoann Gourcuff out of the squad to face Uruguay on August 15.
