Raphael Varane's Euro 2016 hopes are over after France announced Adil Rami will take the injured Real Madrid defender's place in their squad

Raphael Varane's hopes of playing at Euro 2016 are over after France coach Didier Deschamps opted to replace the injured defender with Adil Rami.

Sevilla centre-back Rami was called up on Monday as cover for Real Madrid man Varane, who suffered a thigh tear over the weekend.

However, Deschamps has now opted to cut his losses on Varane, who also looks certain to miss his club's Champions League final against Atletico Madrid on Saturday.
