The president of the French Football Federation (FFF), Noel Le Graet, insists Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema can play for France again.
Benzema was barred from France's Euros squad while his involvement in an alleged blackmail case was being investigated.
"He is not among the 23, I wish that justice could go faster," said Le Graet.
"But he is not banned for life, I've never been interested in a lifelong suspension."
