PARIS, March 27 (Xinhua) -- After picking up a left hamstring injury on international duty with France, Florian Thauvin is estimated to be ruled out for 10 to 15 days, his club Marseille announced on Tuesday.

"Florian Thauvin has suffered a muscle injury to his left hamstring. The injury was picked up while on French national team duty during the international break," the club said in a statement.

"His absence from competitive action is estimated to be around 10-15 days," it added.

Thauvin didn't fly to Saint Petersburg with the national team for Tuesday's international friendly against World Cup hosts Russia.

He is expected to take up his position in Les Bleus' 23-man squad at the 2018 World Cup.
