Real Madrid superstar striker Karim Benzema has been suspended from France team over blackmail inquiry.
He was from the France team until an investigation into his alleged part in a blackmail and sex tape case has been resolved.
The 27-year-old striker could miss Euro 2016, which starts in France in June.
Benzema has been placed under formal investigation by a French judge over an alleged bid to blackmail France team-mate Mathieu Valbuena over a sex video.
The Real Madrid forward denies any wrongdoing but if found guilty, could face a minimum of five years in prison.
