Christopher Nkunku gave France an injury scare ahead of the World Cup when he hobbled out of a training session on Tuesday.
The RB Leipzig forward, who has been in outstanding form for his club, took a knock that left him in obvious pain and required team staff to help him off the field.
Nkunku suffered the blow in a challenge with Eduardo Camavinga as they contested a 50-50 ball, with head coach Didier Deschamps among those who went to his aid.
Deschamps will want Nkunku to be fit to make the trip to Qatar, with France due to depart for their Doha base on Wednesday.
Reports in France said Nkunku would undergo tests to check he had not suffered any significant damage to his left leg, with the player said to be optimistic he would be fine.
Defending champions France begin their World Cup Group D campaign against Australia on November 22, before tackling Denmark and Tunisia.
