Gallas pulls out of training
Written by Jonathan Chong on Thursday, June 3, 2010
Defender William Gallas pulled out of training with the French national squad yesterday, and it was reported that he was suffering from a stomach ache.
Gallas, who has been included in manager Raymond Domenech's final 23-man squad for the World Cup finals in South Africa, was initially a doubt for the tournament due to a calf muscle injury.
Despite that, he took part in France's two warm-up matches, against Tunisia and Costa Rica. It is still unclear whether he will take part in the country's final warm-up match against China on Friday.
Gallas pulled out of jogging on a beach with the rest of the team, but not before having jogged around the pitch a few times.
A spokesman for the French national team said: "He (Gallas) started feeling unwell during the night, with a sore stomach, and started running but had to stop.
"This has nothing to do with his calf."
It's being reported that the stability of Le Bleus' defence has been a concern for the fans, with the former world champions conceding early against Costa Rica and Tunisia.
France will face hosts South Africa, Mexico and Uruguay in Group A.
