French trio set for return

France coach Jacques Santini may reinstate Claude Makelele, Robert Pires and Bixente Lizarazu to his starting line-up for the final Group B match with Switzerland where a draw would guarantee the defending champions a berth in the last eight.

Makelele was injured against England and missed the 2-2 draw with Croatia in Leiria but is fit again and should start in place of Olivier Dacourt who had a poor game against the Croats.
