Nice - France winger Franck Ribery, who has been suffering from back pains, is expected to be fit a week before Les Bleus's opening Soccer World Cup match, coach Didier Deschamps said on Saturday.
Ribery missed last weekend's warm-up game against Norway, which France won 4-0, and will also sit out Sunday's friendly against Paraguay.
"He's been having back problems for several months," Deschamps told a news conference.
"Our goal is that he feels better than the previous weeks and that he is available for the Jamaica game (on June 8)."
France play their last warm-up game against Jamaica in Lille on June 8. They open their World Cup campaign with a Group E match against Honduras on June 15, before taking on Ecuador and Switzerland.
Asked if the Bayern Munich winger could miss the World Cup finals, Deschamps replied: "I don't want to think about it today.
"We are doing everything so that he can come back. He is confident. If there is a problem, we will have time to find a solution."
Deschamps has already named his 23-man squad for the World Cup finals and has six players on stand-by, who left the training camp last weekend.
