According to French head coach Raymond Domenech, French national team midfielder Florent Malouda is ready to play for France in the World Cup Group G second match against South Korea.
"He (Malouda) has started training normally and can perform the exercises that other team players do, which means he is ready to take the field," said R. Domenech, who also stated that all 23 players in his team are in shape and ready to compete.
Due to unclear reasons, F. Malouda could not participate in the first match of France against Switzerland, which ended in a draw of 0-0.
France, which had a unsuccessful start to the championship, will play at Leipzig stadium against the South Korean team on Monday, June 18, and will end group stage matches on June 23 against the African team Togo.
