France lose Saha

Manchester United coach Sir Alex Ferguson will breath a sign of relief after his recovering striker Louis Saha Tuesday withdrew from the French squad for the Euro 2008 qualifying matches against Faroe Islands and Lithuania.
Saha arrived at the French training camp to verify his fitness but later withdrew after experiencing swelling of the knee, French team management said.
Saha returned last week after seven months out with knee and ankle injuries in Manchester United's 1-0 Champions League win over Roma.
However Ferguson on Friday promised to ease the star striker back into team and felt it was too early for international football.
"International football is not an issue for him at the moment. Although France have called him into the squad, it doesn't mean they are going to start him or anything like that," said Ferguson.
"The national team doctor was the one who gave him his last operation so he knows exactly what the situation is. And we would expect them to handle him in exactly the right way."
French coach Raymond Domenech has given himself until Tuesday evening to decide on whether to seek reinforcements to his 23-man squad.
