France's Patrice Evra 'fine' for Iceland quarterfinal despite hand injury

France full-back Patrice Evra has made light of the minor hand injury he sustained in training.

The 35-year-old hurt his left hand when he fell following a collision with midfielder Moussa Sissoko late in Wednesday's training session.

Evra, who was not wearing the bandage applied after the fall when he attended a news conference on Thursday, was in a light-hearted mood when a reporter asked about his injury.

"Thanks for asking about me, that's so nice; it touches my heart," Evra said. "I've only twisted all four fingers, but other than that I'm fine."

The former Manchester United full-back is expected to start against Iceland in the quarterfinal at Stade de France on Sunday.
