The Portsmouth midfielder is suffering from an inflammation to his left knee and will play no part in the match in Constanta.
The 23-year-old will also miss Les Bleus' friendly against Tunisia four days later.
Diarra, who has won 16 caps for France, has established himself as a regular for Les Bleus in recent months, starting each of their three games since Euro 2008.
His absence will come as a further blow to France coach Raymond Domenech, who is also waiting on the fitness of Chelsea striker Nicolas Anelka ahead of this weekend's Group Seven clash.
