The Manchester United midfielder was ruled out of France's international commitments due to an injury suffered in United's victory at Champions League opponents Juventus.

Matuidi lamented: "Paul has a big place in this group, but we will stay the same, as we have always been.

"There are several leaders in this team but all players are important.

"The most important is the group."
