World Cup: Marcus Thuram still not training with France squad

Marcus Thuram missed France’s group session on Wednesday, remaining on an individual programme as he manages a calf issue.

According to L'Équipe, the forward worked on a bike at Bentley University. The substitutes from the 3-0 win over Sweden trained for an hour in oppressive heat.

N'Golo Kanté, who had felt knee pain, completed the full session, including a small-sided game, and did not appear hindered.

Jean-Philippe Mateta, a substitute in that match, also looked sharp.

Among the round-of-16 starters, only Kylian Mbappé, Ousmane Dembélé, Jules Koundé, Bradley Barcola and Lucas Digne ran with fitness coach Cyril Moine.
