Florent Malouda left out of France team to face Uruguay

Published:

The teams for France v Uruguay match are in and Florent Malouda has been left on the bench.

The Chelsea man has had a fine season for his club but Arsenal’s Abou Diaby takes his place here.

Also out is Thierry Henry, leaving Chelsea’s Nicolas Anelka to lead the line. Anelka is 4/1 to open the scoring.

As expected prolific strikers Diego Forlan and Luis Suarez start in tandem for Uruguay in a 5-2-1-2 formation.

You can get Forlan to score the opening goal at 6/1, while Ajax’s 49-goal forward is a tempting 7/1.
