French Football Federation for under-19 years has excluded French club Lyon star Mohamed Diawara due to the latter’s refusal to break the fast and to implement the orders of the French Federation. The French Federation asked the coaches of the teams for the under-21 categories not to call up any player who decided to fast during the month of Ramadan.
