Aston Villa manager Remi Garde insists he will not favour any of the club's French players as the Premier League strugglers bid to beat the drop.
Garde took charge of his first Villa match with his team holding Manchester City to a goalless draw on Sunday.
French winger Charles N'Zogbia also made his first appearance of the season off the bench.
"They are not back because they are French or I knew them," Garde said.
"In a fortnight it can be a different team. They did well but the team did well. I think the spirit they are starting to show all together is better than I saw previously.
"I think Charles is an interesting player. He was quite OK in the training sessions and I thought he could be useful for the team. That's it."
