Found on Badzine france :

"Les Internationaux de France 2009 se joueront sans Lee Chong Wei, le numéro 1 mondial, qui a du déclarer forfait alors qu'il voulait vraiment venir en France - sa blessure au genou l'en a empéché, et il a déclaré recemment au Japon qu'il se tiendrait sans doute à l'écart du reste des compétitions de la fin de l'année. En revanche, la bonne nouvelle est la présence à Paris de Lin Dan, le champion Olympique, qui avait fait l'impasse l'an dernier. Avec Taufik Hidayat, Chen Jin, Peter Gade et bien d'autres, la compétition devrait offrir des matches splendides."

It explains that Lee Chong Wei is injured and won't play at the French Open and others tournaments of the end of year.
They add that Lin Dan, Taufik Chen Jin and Gade will be there.
 
Beside Lee Chong Wei, according to BWF M/Q Report version 3 (updated 8th October 2009), some players also have withdrawn :

MS -- Simon Maunoury (FRA), Kazushi Yamada (JPN), Koichi Saeki (JPN)

WS -- Nicola Cerfontyne (ENG), Maria Kristin Yulianti (INA), Nanna Brosolat-Jensen (DEN), Mayu Sekiya (JPN), Maja Tvrdy (SLO) and Wong Mew Choo (MAS)
 
Since CHN withdrew from Denmark, China may not send full team as either they will send Wang xin or Wanglin, for instance...as predicted already as if CHN participates DEN, FRENCH then one week later, HKG, CHN then Asian Games....very tough..
 
If CHN sends their team to French, let me predict who will be sent:

a. Majin/Zheng Bo
Tao Jiaming/Zhang Ya wen
Pan/Pan/Chai Biao
Majin/Wang xiao Li
Pan pan/zhang ya wen
zhang Nan/Chai Biao
Wang Shi Xian
Wang Xin
Wanglin or Lu Lan( not sure about Jiang as she is injured)
Chen Long
BCL
Chen Jin or Lin dan..

This is because they are in the same half of the draw.....???
