PARIS, May 29 (Reuters) - Samir Nasri has pulled out of France's tour to South America because of a knee injury, the French federation said on their website on Wednesday.

Nasri will not be replaced in the squad because Clement Grenier of Olympique Lyon had already been called up as cover in case the Manchester City midfielder failed to recover from the injury.

France play Uruguay on June 5 and Brazil on June 9.
