PARIS : Defender Dayot Upamecano has been ruled out of France's squad for their upcoming Nations League games against Israel and Belgium with a hamstring injury, the French football federation (FFF) said on Monday.

The Bayern Munich player suffered the injury in a Bundesliga game against Eintracht Frankfurt on Sunday, the FFF said, adding that was being replaced in the squad by Sevilla's Loic Bade.

France, second in Group A after two games, take on Israel in Budapest on Thursday and travel to Belgium next Monday.
