Thierry Henry has pulled out of France's squad for their World Cup qualifier against the Faroe Islands on Wednesday.

According to his club Barcelona, the striker suffered an Achilles injury on their pre-season tour of the United States and will not be able to join up with Les Bleus this week.

National team coach Raymond Domenech is not expected to call up a replacement for the 31-year-old for the match in Torshavn.

France lie second in qualifying Group Seven, eight points behind leaders Serbia and with two games in hand.
