Intro:

French team boosted ahead of Euro 2012 opener against England, with Karim Benzema, Patrice Evra and Alou Diarra set to return to training.

Script:

SOUNDBITE: (French) Frabrice Bryand, French team's doctor:

"Depending on how things evolve, and it will depend on his progress as he begins to train more intensely, Blaise Matuidi might be available to Laurent Blanc one or two days before June 11th."

SOUNDBITE: (French) Frabrice Bryand, French team's doctor:

"Karim (Benzema) rested a bit, because as you know, during the last match he had a problem during the goal, he was shaken a little bit, also, his back hurt during the trip, so he was rested. This afternoon, three players, Alou (Diarra), Patrice (Evra) and Karim (Benzema) will go back to training with other players."

SOUNDBITE (French) Henri Emile, French team's sport coordinator:

"I think there is a good atmosphere in this group, and it is obvious during meals. Once the meal is over, if you see players leave immediately, it means players are divided in small groups, clans, it means something is wrong. But when you see players hang out, talk and laugh together, enjoying being together, I think it is a good sign. Friendly games were helpful too. This is a lively and pleasant group, it is up to us to keep it this way."
