French media reported that Cisse broke his right tibia in the clash with a Chinese defender that left him writhing in agony on the ground. Domenech said Cisse was out of France's World Cup campaign but declined to confirm the details of his injury, according to the AP.

Cisse underwent surgery on Thursday night, French team spokesman Yann Le Guillard said.

He received a telephone call of sympathy from French President Jacques Chirac early Thursday. Chirac was at Wednesday's match.
