Samir Nasri rejoins fellow youngsters Hatem Ben Arfa and Karim Benzema in the France squad for their all-important final UEFA EURO 2008™ qualifier against Ukraine.
Final permutations
The 20-year-old playmaker has been out for a month after being hospitalised with a virus that had the symptoms of meningitis but has been recalled to the 24-man party for the game in Kiev, along with Jérémy Toulalan and Nicolas Anelka, who are recovering from injuries. France host Morocco in a friendly game on Friday 16 November before facing Ukraine five days later. France currently top Group B and will qualify for the finals without kicking a ball if Italy triumph in Scotland on 17 November. If that does not happen, a point in Kiev will send them to Austria and Switzerland.
