France boss Deschamps eases Martial Man Utd fitness fears

France boss Didier Deschamps says Anthony Martial has not suffered a serious injury.

The Manchester United forward was withdrawn prematurely from France's win over Kazakhstan on Sunday.

Deschamps was unsure if Martial would play against Bosnia on Wednesday, but he ruled out Martial being sidelined for an extended period.

"Anthony has a small issue on his knee. Nothing is decided yet," Deschamps said on Tuesday.

"He won't be taking part in the training session a bit later. We'll see tomorrow.

"Anything serious has been dismissed. We've run some tests, but there's still the pain, and having travelled as long as we have, that hasn't helped."
