Lloris defends France team-mates

Captain Hugo Lloris has leapt to the defence of his France team-mates, saying they should not be judged on reports of infighting during Euro 2012.

News surfaced of dressing-room unrest following the Group D loss to Sweden, with coach Laurent Blanc later admitting things “had kicked off a bit” in the immediate aftermath of the 2-0 reverse, which left Les Bleus as runners-up behind England.
