  France suffer Diarra blow

  

  France midfielder Lassana Diarra was ruled out of the World Cup on Saturday because of a stomach ailment.

  The Real Madrid midfielder hasn't trained with France in the Alpine resort of Tignes for the last three days.

  "Medical tests have revealed an unforeseeable illness which justifies a rest period," France media officer Francois Manardo said. "As a consequence, Lassana Diarra will miss the World Cup."

  Manardo said Diarra first felt "intestinal pains" when the squad went up to the foot of La Grande Motte glacier on Wednesday, sleeping in a restaurant at more than 9,800 feet in a team-bonding exercise, and Diarra has not been able to shake off the pains.

  The French team allows no media access to the medical staff, and the only further details given were that Diarra needed to rest for "an indefinite period."
