France's preparations hit by storm

France's preparations for their Euro 2012 opener have suffered a minor setback after Karim Benzema missed training with a sore back.

The training session at their base in Kirsha, Ukraine, also had to be moved indoors after a storm waterlogged the outdoor pitch.

Les Bleus face England in Donetsk on Monday, with no fewer than six players struggling for fitness.

Benzema was joined on the sidelines by Blaise Matuidi, Yann M'Vila, Patrice Evra, Alou Diarra and reserve goalkeeper Steve Mandanda.
