Star duo back for Romania
Captain Cristian Chivu and star striker Adrian Mutu, who both missed Romania's World Cup qualifiers against Lithuania and the Faroe Islands, return to their national side for the crunch October 11 showdown against France.
Chivu and Mutu are two of 10 foreign-based Romanians called up by coach Victor Piturca for the third qualifying match for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, which will be played in the Black Sea city of Constanta.
Chivu (shoulder) and Mutu (elbow) missed Romania's humiliating 3-0 loss to Lithuania on September 6 and the narrow 1-0 win over the Faroes four days later, but have both since made their returns for Inter Milan and Fiorentina in the Italian league.
