Prop Atonio, who travelled to London with the team, has been struggling with a knee injury, while Fofana had a thigh strain and Medard needed an MRI on a shoulder problem.
Brunel has chosen to stick with the same squad that featured in the first two matches of the tournament, despite facing criticism for a dismal defensive performance against England.
With the title already well out of their reach, Les Bleus must now avoid defeat against Scotland at the Stade de France on Feb. 23 if they do not want to play a 'wooden spoon' clash in Rome against Italy in their last outing.
