Saha ruled out of friendly against Spain

France striker Louis Saha has been ruled out of Wednesday's friendly match against European champion Spain.

The Everton striker picked up a slight thigh injury and left the France training camp Monday after the team's doctors decided he was not fit to play, France spokesman Francois Manardo said.

Saha, who has scored 13 English Premier League goals this season, hasn't played for France since a 1-0 win over Greece in a friendly in November 2006.

He has been replaced in the squad by Panathinaikos forward Djibril Cisse.
