Karim Benzema and Antoine Griezmann were still absent from the training of the Blues, this Friday at the end of the day at Clairefontaine.
On the other hand, the two attackers resumed the race in the morning before training, at the end of the afternoon, individually on a secondary field before exchanging a few balls with a physical trainer.
The Madrilenian is recovering from his crutch in the thigh received against Bulgaria (3-0) and the Barcelona from a contusion to the left calf.
They could both find the group this Saturday in a session that will take place behind closed doors.
Unlike Thursday, he was not missing two but three elements since Raphaël Varane was also absent.
The defender was preserved as a precaution.
He remained indoors, but his presence for the first match of the Blues at the Euro, Tuesday, June 15 against Germany (9 p.m.), is not called into question.
Highly in demand with Real Madrid, the former Lensois should also return to the group this Saturday for a session which could therefore take place with a whole group.
All of the PCR tests carried out on Thursday were negative.
The number: 26
If the 26 French players participate in training on Saturday, as the staff hopes, it would be a first since the start of preparation for the European Championship.
Thomas Lemar had missed the first sessions due to a thigh injury.
Lucas Hernandez, Adrien Rabiot and Kingsley Coman also had physical problems.
For them, everything is much better today.
The news is encouraging for Didier Deschamps' squad which is preparing to find all of its vital forces at the best time.

Under the Clairefontaine sun this Friday, the Blues trained for more than an hour and a half with a lot of seriousness and commitment.
Appeared with his face closed the day before, Kylian Mbappé was much more playful this time.
The Parisian, annoyed by the debate generated by the statements of Olivier Giroud Tuesday evening, did not go far from winning the mini-tournament five against five organized for the occasion.
His team ended up losing on penalties.
The victory went to the “blue” team, in which we found Paul Pogba, author of the victorious penalty, Jules Koundé, Kingsley Coman, Moussa Sissoko and Lucas Hernandez.
The sentence: "We are not the only favorites", warns Pavard
Earlier in the afternoon, it was Benjamin Pavard and Wissam Ben Yedder who presented themselves at the press conference.
The Bayern defender notably spoke about the status of the France team, considered by many to be the favorite team of the Euro.
However, he warns the troops.
“For me, we're not the only favorites,” he explains.
There is Portugal, Germany, Belgium too.
We must not believe we have arrived, we must take game after game, and we will see ... "
After having chained two successes in friendly (Wales, Bulgaria), and four clean sheets, all the lights are green.
But mistrust remains in the French team.
