As we already told you during the France - China game (it finished 3-1), Cisse has had a horiffic injury and he is out of the World Cup. Another chance lost for this player and bad news for France.

Djibril Cisse will miss the FIFA World Cup™ after fracturing his right leg in France’s 3-1 win over China in their final warm-up game on Wednesday.

“He is in hospital and he’s undergoing surgery,” France coach Raymond Domenech told reporters after the match in Saint-Etienne. “It’s a vicious blow to all of us.

“Everything was going so well. All the players are depressed. Even during the game you could see it. They just lost interest in the game.”

French Football Federation (FFF) president Jean-Pierre Escalettes told French radio that Cisse had fractured his right fibula and shinbone (tibia).

Zinedine Zidane, who will retire after the FIFA World Cup and was playing his last match in France, missed a penalty in the 15th minute after he was brought down in the box.

Despite the miss, the captain stepped up a gear after below-par performances in the last two friendlies and thrilled the crowd with several clever moves.

The other satisfaction for France on a night marred by Cisse’s misfortune was midfielder Franck Ribery, who once again sparkled after coming on and was involved in the two late goals that won the game.

France’s other Group G opponents are South Korea and Togo.

“Djibril’s injury is the only thing that’s worrying us right now,” said Domenech. “It’s a drama.”
