Moyes cannot see Everton striker Saha earning World Cup call

Everton boss David Moyes believes Louis Saha may not make France's World Cup squad.

Saha’s scintillating scoring sequence has prompting a growing call for his reinstatement to the France squad, particularly given they now qualified for the World Cup.

However, Moyes believes the striker’s time may have passed with the French turning to the new guard.

“He has been included in every pre-squad when he’s been fit, he’s always been on stand-by,” says the Goodison manager. “They have good centre-forwards now, Benzema sat on the bench the other night, but if he continues scoring goals he’ll be noticed.

“It maybe that France are now looking to bring through a new wave of player, that era of Louis’s might be at the back end now. I don’t think it’s a driving force for him now. He would love to be involved, but I don’t think it’s the be-all and end-all for him.

“We have been giving him and Sylvain stick about the handball this week. Several French players have been involved in incidents lately so we have let them know about it!”
