Micoud to meet with Les Bleus

France coach Raymond Domenech will meet with Johan Micoud this weekend.

Raymond Domenech is expected to meet with Werder Bremen star Johan Micoud to discuss his inclusion in France's World Cup squad, according to French TV commentator Thierry Rolland.

Micoud publicly criticised the French national team coach just a few weeks ago for his failure to select the Bremen playmaker and Domenech has seemingly taken the comments on board.

The former Bordeaux and Parma playmaker is likely to get his chance to prove himself on the biggest stage, with Domenech seeing the 32-year-old as the perfect replacement for Zinedine Zidane.

"I can tell you that Raymond Domenech will go to Bremen this weekend to meet with Johan Micoud," Rolland told RTL.

Micoud has been in excellent form for Bremen this season, scoring 11 goals in 36 games as well as helping Bremen reach the knockout stage of the UEFA Champions League.
