The veteran of the France team Nikola Karabatic, absent through injury in the last two matches of the World Cup, is making his return for the quarter-final against Germany in Gdansk, which Thibaud Briet will miss, according to the score sheet.
The left back, one of the revelations of the competition on the French side, is injured in the right hand, said the management.
The Blues can count on Elohim Prandi, recovered from the sprained left ankle that he had done alone against the Spaniards (28-26).
Coach Guillaume Gille has not had his entire squad available for any match since the start of the competition.
