Griezmann ruled out of Ivory Coast match

Antoine Griezmann will miss France's friendly match against Ivory Coast on Tuesday with a foot injury.

Les Bleus' star forward sustained the problem during the 2-1 World Cup qualification win over Sweden on Friday.

The team released a statement which read: "Antoine Griezmann is out of the game with a hematoma on his left foot. He will not be replaced."

France were not expected to take any risks with the 25-year-old, with Atletico Madrid's derby showdown against Real Madrid on the horizon in LaLiga next weekend.
