Wrist injury forces Englishman Donald to duck the French Open

Luke Donald is out of this week's French Open as he bids to recover from the wrist injury which forced him to withdraw from the US Open.  

Donald was in joint 23rd after 14 holes of the final round at Torrey Pines when he had his left wrist strapped by medics before deciding not to continue.  

The world number 18, with ground to make up in the Ryder Cup race if he is not going to rely on a wild card pick from captain Nick Faldo, took last week off rather than play in the BMW International in Munich and now he is giving the wrist another week's rest.

Ian Poulter, who also withdrew from the German event after quitting the US Open with wrist trouble on the opening day, remains on the entry list for Paris.

Feeling the strain: Donald will sit out once more
