Mvila to miss England tie
France's highly-rated midfielder Yann Mvila is unlikely to have recovered from an ankle injury in time for their opening Euro 2012 clash with England on Monday, the team doctor said Friday.
The 21-year-old Rennes star - who is being courted by several big European clubs - injured his ankle in the warm-up match with Serbia on May 31 and while he has made speedy progress Fabrice Bryand said he wasn't optimistic about his chances of being fit for Monday's Group D game.
"Yann Mvila has a sprained ankle. We are trying to do our utmost to get him back as quickly as possible," said Dr Bryand.
"His progress has been spectacular but we don't want to be too over confident."
