After already being left on the bench against Sweden (3-0) last Tuesday, Marcus Thuram is slowly recovering from a calf injury.

The French striker has only resumed individual training. "Marcus is the only one still on a tailored program. He's feeling better, he's started running again, he'll continue today but not with the group," said Les Bleus coach Didier Deschamps this Friday.

Thuram will likely miss the World Cup round of 16 clash against Paraguay this Saturday.
