Trezeguet out of Republic clash

Juventus striker David Trezeguet has been ruled out of France’s World Cup qualifier against the Republic of Ireland on Saturday and has been replaced in Raymond Domenech’s squad by Peguy Luyindula.

Trezeguet’s participation was in doubt after he injured his shoulder during Juve’s 1-0 win at Udinese in Serie A on Sunday, and his absence was confirmed by the French Football Federation today.
