Yann Mvila and Blaise Matuidi were both making great progress in recovering from injuries but were still not match fit said France coach Laurent Blanc on Thursday.
Mvila is suffering from an ankle injury and Matuidi a thigh problem.
"Their fitness is coming on leaps and bounds," said Blanc.
"Every day, there is a better prognosis. For the moment they are not yet able to play in a game or join in team training.
"But I think that we are ahead of schedule with their return to fitness.
"We hope they are going to continue to improve at the same pace, that we could gain two or three days, it could be interesting (for team selection)."
