Newcastle fullback Mathieu Debuchy will miss France's upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Georgia and Spain on March 22 and 26 with a left thigh injury, the French Football Federation said Monday, with Rod Fanni deputising.

Debuchy picked up the injury in Sunday's English Premier League loss at Wigan and had to hobble off in the 12th minute.
