William Gallas scare after rolling dune buggy

FRANCE defender William Gallas rolled over while taking part in a dune buggy race at the team's World Cup training camp in the French Alps on Sunday.

Gallas got out of the buggy and waved to his team mates to indicate he had not been hurt in the crash, a photographer at the scene reported.

The defender escaped with just a graze on his left hand, a team spokesman said.

The former Arsenal skipper is recovering from a calf injury and has been back in training for several days, suggesting he will be fit to take part in the 11 June-11July finals in South Africa.

France, in a week-long training camp at this scenic ski village, have been taking part in activities such as hiking up a glacier and an introduction to biathlon, a mixture of cross-country skiing and shooting.
