Gallas is Ok says Domenech

Out-of-contract Arsenal centre-back William Gallas might start for Les Bleus today against China in what is considered as their last warm-up game before the World Cup commences in South Africa.

The 32-year-old want-away defender, has struggled to shrug-off his recurrent calf injury, but outgoing France coach Raymond Domenech expects him to be fit for today's action: "He's fine, much better than he was," the gaffer explained.

For the record, the player has reduced the number of regular strenuous exercises he partook in (jogging and workouts), the day before because of stomach pains.
