Patrice Evra called up by France in place of injured Layvin Kurzawa

Juventus defender Patrice Evra has been called up to France's squad for the matches against Sweden and Ivory Coast as a replacement for injured fellow left-back Layvin Kurzawa.

A statement on the French Football Federation's official website on Monday said Paris Saint-Germain's Kurzawa had withdrawn due to a groin problem.

France host Sweden in a World Cup qualifier on Friday, then the Ivory Coast in a friendly four days later.
