France received a timely pre-World Cup boost when centre-back William Gallas played a full part in training as he seeks to prove his fitness in time for the June 11-July 11 tournament.

The Arsenal defender, who has been sidelined by a calf injury since March 31, looked comfortable as he took part in all the ball exercises carried out by the team.

Defensive midfielder Lassana Diarra missed the training session with an intestinal problem exacerbated by the high altitude.

Nineteen players took part in training on Friday, with the three goalkeepers training separately and Chelsea's Florent Malouda back in London until Sunday in anticipation of the birth of his fourth child.

Centre-back Sebastien Squillaci returned to the team hotel after the warm-up to rest as he played for Sevilla in the Spanish King's Cup final on Wednesday.
