Concerns arise about Henry’s fitness as Vieira is ruled out of opener!
June 8, 2008
A closed door training session for the French national team on Saturday in the tiny Swiss village of Châtel Saint-Denis was completed without the Barcelona striker. The 30 year-old won his 100th cap for his country in last Tuesday’s 1-0 victory over Colombia but has failed to train since picking up a knock in the game.
The veteran French striker is expected to play a vital role in Raymond Domenech’s team which is expected to get pass Romania in their opening game but fitness concerns among players in the french team continue to force coach Domenech to make tactical changes to his starting team. Henry is not the only doubt for France’s key Euro 2008 fixture. Creative midfielder Samir Nasri reported ill but was able to take some part in training while the brilliant Franck Ribéry, who picked up a knock to his ankle in the midweek Colombian friendly, was also deemed fit enough to participate.
Can France show their depth against Romania? The field awaits as the “Group of death” is decided.
