<p><br /> The fitness of William Gallas continues to be the main talking point at France's World Cup training camp in Tignes.<br /> </p><p><br /> The Arsenal defender arrived in the skiing resort at the weekend and has been training daily with fitness coach Robert Duverne.<br /> </p><p><br /> Gallas, who suffered a recurrence of a calf muscle injury in March and has not played since, was the main reason coach Raymond Domenech trimmed his 30-strong squad to 24 players, giving himself until June 1 to reduce it to the official 23.<br /> </p><p><br /> "For the moment, he's okay," said Domenech. "Every training session is a test. It (the calf muscle) will either hold together or break. I'm impatiently waiting to find out."<br /> </p><p><br /> If Gallas were ruled fit to play, one centre-back, either Sebastien Squillaci or Marc Planus, would probably leave the squad. Otherwise, both will stay and Domenech could play holding midfielder Jeremy Toulalan at the centre of his defence.<br /> </p><p><br /> Domenech, criticised since his side's Euro 2008 flop and booed by France fans at every game, is likely to be replaced after the World Cup by former France defender Laurent Blanc.<br /> </p><p><br /> The team, who needed Thierry Henry's infamous handball to qualify for the World Cup through a play-off at the expense of Ireland, have been frustrating their supporters for years and are not among the tournament favourites.<br /> </p><p><br /> The 1998 world champions should survive a group also featuring hosts South Africa, Mexico and Uruguay but might struggle against more confident sides, as they did when they were outclassed 2-0 by European champions Spain in a March friendly.<br /> </p><p><br /> Domenech, aware that France came to Tignes to prepare for their 1998 World Cup and 2000 European Championship triumphs, was not making any predictions.<br /> </p><p><br /> "The most important thing right now is for the players to get together and prepare in the best conditions," he said.<br /> </p>
