According to L'Équipe, France trained with the full group on Saturday as they prepare to face Senegal on Tuesday at 21:00, though Mike Maignan worked on a bike and returned to the dressing room before his team-mates.

Théo Hernandez, William Saliba and Aurélien Tchouameni had been held back during Friday's open session for 400 invited supporters. All three took part in the closed workout on Saturday.

Adrien Rabiot, who skipped Thursday's small-sided games and instead ran with fitness coach Cyril Moine, was also involved.

Saliba's workload will be managed through to Tuesday, with the defender monitored in recent months for back pain at both club and national level.

Since the start of preparation, his entourage and France's staff have been reassuring about the Arsenal player's ability to be ready on the day.
