The 23-year-old Marseille winger is one of only two players in the squad - Pascal Chimbonda being the other - who is uncapped. The pacy Ribery has been outstanding for his club this season and has been linked with several bigger clubs including Manchester United. He moved to Marseille on a free transfer after FIFA supported his claim that he had not been paid by former club Galatasaray for four months. He also played for Metz earlier in his career and could be a match-winner if used from the substitute's bench in the latter stages of games against tiring defences.
