PREVIEW-Soccer-France coach keeps pressure ahead of Georgia game

However, France first have to see off Georgia, which he says will not be as easy as it might seem.

"In a way, this match is harder to prepare for than the previous one, psychologically speaking," he said, referring to the distractions the players have in a transfer period.

"They still spend too much time on the phone, but there is nothing I can do about it."

Franck Ribery, who is linked to a move from Olympique Marseille to Bayern Munich and Olympique Lyon midfielder Florent Malouda, who has raised interest from Barcelona and Liverpool, are among those in demand.

For Wednesday's match, Domenech will be without goalkeeper Gregory Coupet, who left France's training camp on Sunday with an abdomen injury.

Centre back William Gallas, who is suffering thigh pains, is very doubtful and could be replaced by Sevilla's Julien Escude.

Probable teams:

France: Mickael Landreau; Eric Abidal, Lilian Thuram, Julien Escude, Francois Clerc; Claude Makelele, Jeremy Toulalan, Franck Ribery, Samir Nasri, Florent Malouda; Nicolas Anelka

Georgia: Giorgi Lomaia; Zaal Eliava, Kakha Kaladze, Davit Kvirkvelia, Mate Gvinianidze; Zurab Khizanishvili, Davit Mujiri, Jaba Kankava, Zurab Menteshashvili; Otar Khizaneishvili, Alexander Iashvili
