France coach Raymond Domenech has played down the importance of Friday night's defeat to China but admits there is cause for concern.

The defeat capped a series of disappointing results which has seen them held to a 1-1 draw by Tunisia and come from behind to narrowly beat Costa Rica 2-1.

But Domenech insists he can turn things around in the next six days. He said: "There are always reasons to worry when you lose a match and when you don't score a goal. Now I'm not saying that it's not worrying, but it's only a warm-up game."
