Domenech Announces D-Date
Domenech, who took France to the World Cup final in 2006, will select an initial long-list of candidates before narrowing down his official squad to 23 members later in the month.
And the former Lyon manager insists the scheduling of certain European cup competitions, such as the Champions League and the Coupe de France, has forced he and his potential players into a difficult situation.
"The idea is to keep as many players as I can under pressure for as long as possible," he said.
"That places players in a tricky position, with doubts and uncertainties, but I have had to find a date.
"My worst nightmare is the calendar (for the club competitions), which can bring about injuries at any moment."
Les Bleus have been pooled with Holland, Italy and Romania in the 'Group of Death' for this summer's tournament in Austria and Switzerland. Their opening fixture is against Romania on June 9.
