Mandana: France squad must accept Blanc punishment

France reserve goalkeeper Steve Mandanda insists everyone involved in France’s World Cup failure must accept their punishment from new coach Laurent Blanc.

The former Bordeaux boss decided to exclude the entire 23-man party from next week’s friendly against Norway in response to a campaign in South Africa which yielded just one point, one goal and a training-ground strike by the whole squad two days before the final group game against the host nation.
