Djorkaeff set to fill in for Zidane

YOURI DJORKAEFF is expected to stand in for the injured Zinedine Zidane in France’s World Cup curtain raiser against Senegal on Friday but he believes the Real Madrid star is irreplaceable.

Djorkaeff was part of France’s World Cup-winning squad four years ago before falling from favour as he became locked in a feud with German club side Kaiserslautern.
