FIFA announced on Friday that France's Emmanuel Petit and Thierry Henry will be suspended from appearing in the team's last Group A match against Denmark on June 11 as part of disciplinary measures against the players.

Striker Thierry Henry was sent off the pitch for a dangerous tackle during Thursday's match against Uruguay in Busan, while midfielder Petit received a yellow card in a second consecutive match following one in the France-Senegal match on May 31.

FIFA also suspended Senegal's midfielder Salif Diao for the team's last group match against Uruguay, scheduled for Tuesday in Suwon. Diao was given a red card during Senegal's second first-round match against Denmark Thursday.
