Coach Raymond Domenech has once again left out Juventus striker David Trezeguet of France's 24-man squad for a Euro qualifier game against Ukraine this month.

Trezeguet has been impressive in the Serie A this season, netting 10 goals in 11 matches to lie on top of the scorers' chart.

Nevertheless, Domenech still believes that Trezegol, who last played for Les Blues in the 1-0 defeat to Scotland in September, has to exert more efforts to earn a call-up to France.

"He's made a bright start to the season. He is good. But there is a lot of competition (to make the squad)," Domenech told a press conference.

"However, the Euro finals are in eight months and we can still discuss things again. I hope he will keep going like this and that he will be at the Euro finals with us."

A draw for France against Ukraine will be enough to lift the 2006 World Cup finalists to Euro finals in Austria and Switzerland.

The squad:

Goalkeepers: Sebastien Frey (Fiorentina), Mickael Landreau (Paris St Germain), Ulrich Rame (Girondins Bordeaux)

Defenders: Eric Abidal (Barcelona), Sebastien Squillaci (Olympique Lyon), Patrice Evra (Manchester United), William Gallas (Arsenal), Francois Clerc (Olympique Lyon), Bakary Sagna (Arsenal), Lilian Thuram (Barcelona)

Midfielders: Alou Diarra (Girondins Bordeaux), Lassana Diarra (Arsenal), Mathieu Flamini (Arsenal), Claude Makelele (Chelsea), Jerome Rothen (Paris St Germain), Jeremy Toulalan (Olympique Lyon), Samir Nasri (Olympique Marseille)

Forwards: Nicolas Anelka (Bolton Wanderers), Karim Benzema (Olympique Lyon), Sidney Govou (Olympique Lyon), Thierry Henry (Barcelona), Florent Malouda (Chelsea), Franck Ribery (Bayern Munich), Hatem Ben Arfa (Olympique Lyon)
