Cisse invited to France training camp

 AJ Auxerre's Djibril Cisse, France's most promising striker, has been called up by national manager Roger Lemerre for a training camp next week.
The 20-year-old, who has scored 20 goals in the first division this season, had previously been overlooked by Lemerre but played in the under-21 team.
Lyon midfielder Eric Carriere was not invited and said the French manager had told him he would not go to the World Cup finals in South Korea and Japan. |
