Remy fights to be fit for Euros

France striker Loic Remy is fighting to be fit for the European Championships after being ruled out for up to four weeks.

Remy suffered a thigh injury in Marseille's 3-0 win over Auxerre last night [Sunday] and is now battling to be fit to play in Ukraine and Poland this summer.

A Marseille statement read: "Loic Remy is suffering from a lesion in the right quadriceps.

"He will be out for three to four weeks."

France coach Laurent Blanc names his preliminary list of home-based players for the tournament on Wednesday.

His final 23-man squad for the championship must be submitted to UEFA by May 29.
