Marcus Thuram Injury: Likely against Morocco

Thuram (calf) is back doing exercises and running drills alongside physical trainer Cyril Moine and a full return to team training is imminent for the Inter Milan forward, and barring any setback, he is expected to be available for Thursday's quarterfinal against Morocco, according L'Equipe.

Thuram is trending in the right direction after missing the last two knockout rounds, with his return to fuller training Sunday a positive sign for France ahead of Thursday. The calf issue has limited him to a single one minute substitute appearance so far at the tournament. Given the layoff, a spot on the bench looks more likely than a start against Morocco, with the coaching staff able to ease him back in given the squad depth at forward.
