The Manchester United duo met up with the France squad on Monday morning but returned to Manchester for treatment after meeting with France's team doctor.

Alexandre Lacazette had been called up as a replacement, alongside Sissoko, but the Arsenal striker will now not join the squad after discussions between the club's team doctor and France's medical staff.
