Laurent Blanc: "Cabaye is indispensable in terms of how he played in the first two games in the competition, absolutely.
"We know players like Cabaye bring a lot to the team. You realise how much players like that bring when they are not actually there.
"He has such great technical ability which really helps the side, gives us a bit more assurance, because we can keep the ball and move it about.
"He has been an important player for a while now - both with his club and the national side."
