France coach Raymond Domenech says the door is open to Manchester City midfielder Patrick Vieira.
The 33-year-old was not named in Domenech's team for next week's friendly against Spain having played just two matches since his January move from Inter Milan to Manchester City.
Domenech said: "We talked about it and agreed that this was not enough.
"He has played two whole games. It would do no good to throw him in against Spain.
"It's two months before the World Cup (squad announcement). He still has time."
