Man Utd ace Martial expects swift France return

Anthony Martial has given a clear indication that he will return to the France line-up this weekend.

The Manchester United forward missed Monday's 3-2 friendly win over Cameroon with a thigh injury but is expected to recover for Saturday's meeting with Scotland in Metz.

"It was something and nothing. No big deal," said the 20-year-old.

"There's no more pain and I feel ready to play."

The meeting with the Scots will be Les Bleus' final warm-up match before they open Euro2016 as hosts against Romania on June 10.
