France head coach Raymond Domenech has indicated that Nicolas Anelka will be fit for Saturday's World Cup qualifier versus Romania.

The Chelsea striker had been considered doubtful for the fixture after he was forced out of last weekend's win over Aston Villa with a recurrence of a muscle spasms problem.

However, Domenech is optimistic Anelka, who scored the winner in last month's 2-1 victory over Serbia, will be fit for the fixture in Constanta.

He said: "There was a small doubt over Nico but he saw the doctor and for the moment he's fine."
