French to come out with all guns blazing

French coach Roger Lemerre has picked Thierry Henry, David Trezeguet, Sylvain Wiltord and Youri Djorkaeff in a formidable looking starting line-up for the opening match in Group A at the Seoul World Cup Stadium.

Djorkaeff, who ended the season at Bolton, has been handed the onerous task of replacing the injured Zinedine Zidane, while Henry and Wiltord had been detailed to slot in on the left and right flanks respectively.
