Centre Yannick Jauzion has resumed training but is still doubtful for France's Six Nations opener against Scotland on Sunday because of a foot injury.

Flyhalf Frederic Michalak and flanker Remy Martin also trained this morning and were officially cleared to play at Murrayfield.

"Right now, Yannick Jauzion is still in the team," coach Bernard Laporte told journalists at the French training camp, in Marcoussis, south of Paris.

"He is going to have an x-ray later in the day. He knows that his injury should not get worse but the problem is the pain, the rubbing of the shoe on his toe," he added.

"We are probably not going to take a final decision until tomorrow (Saturday) and maybe even not before Sunday. If he is still in pain, he will not play."

Jauzion suffered a bone injury in the little toe of his right foot last week-end during a French championship match with his Toulouse club.

At 27 and with 32 caps to his name, Jauzion is now regarded as the undisputed backline leader in a French team who are targeting a Six Nations grand slam after recording wins over Australia, South Africa, Tonga and Canada last November.

Laporte confirmed that if he were to withdraw from the Scotland match, Ludovic Valbon, who has two caps and plays club rugby with Brive, would be promoted from the bench.

Bourgoin's uncapped centre Guillaume Bousses will then be drafted into the squad.
