France captain and playmaker Zinedine Zidane missed training on Thursday but should be fit for the World Cup quarter-final against Brazil that will take place on Saturday. A team spokesman refused to reveal the reasons behind the Real Madrid midfielder's absence, but hinted he will feature in Brazil clash, Sky Sports reported on Thursday. France coach Raymond Domenech refuses to give any medical information about his players throughout the World Cup. Zidane announced he will retire from football after the tournament's end, so he will be eager to take part in the crucial encounter. France will be looking to repeat their previous glory when they crushed Brazil 3-0 to lift the 1998 World Cup trophy on home soil.
