Thierry Henry and Franck Ribery were forced out of France's training session on Thursday.

The duo pulled out after an hour, although officials insisted it was only a 'precautionary' measure.

Ribery seemed to take a knock on the right ankle he hurt in their friendly win over Colombia on Tuesday, whilst Henry, who has a sciatic nerve problem, left to undergo treatment - but neither player was in pain.

Both are expected to feature against Romania in their opening match on Monday.

One plus point for France was that captain Patrick Vieira took a full part in training following his thigh problem but he will still not feature against the Romanians.
