Domenech deals with training glitch

France coach Raymond Domenech is unperturbed that his players would not get the chance to train at World Cup final venue the Olympic Stadium ahead of Sunday’s showdown with Italy.

Torrential rain in Berlin over the previous 24 hours had cut up the pitch where Les Bleus and the Azzurri will fight for the world title, forcing both teams to train elsewhere on the eve of the match in a stadium that neither side has played in during the tournament.
