This could be a big blow to France's chances in . Both Thierry Henry and Franck Ribery
pulled out of training yesterday and are doubtful for their side's opening match against Romania.
This latest injury scare for the French comes after former Arsenal man Partick Vieira was already
ruled out of this game with a thigh injury. These are all big players for France and if you are considering
, this could have an impact on your decision.
It does seem though that Henry and Ribery could shake off their injuries and play a part in making sure
France qualify past the group stages of the tournament. A victory over Romania is vital for the French, as
they come up against Italy and Holland in their other two matches. As far as goes, it is
certainly a tough group to call.
France may fancy their chances of beating Romania without the injured trio and rest them for the other
games in the group where they come up against tougher opposition, but we will have to wait and see. I
certainly won't to progress if they lose to Romania so it could be a crucial few days in their
training camp.
