Tottenham captain Hugo Lloris and Chelsea ace Olivier Giroud visit Roland Garros

France team-mates Hugo Lloris and Olivier Giroud relaxed ahead of the World Cup by watching tennis at Roland Garros this week.

Tottenham goalkeeper Lloris and Chelsea striker Giroud are rivals at club level but they looked like good friends at the French Open.

France captain Lloris, who also skippers Spurs, and target man Giroud both wore denim as the Paris Grand Slam's dress code is much less formal than at Wimbledon.

The duo bumped into former Swansea striker Bafetimbi Gomis, who now plays for Galatasaray.

Gomis, 32, was not named in France's World Cup squad, with the most recent of his 12 senior caps coming way back in 2013.


Lloris and Co are among the favourites to lift football's grandest prize in Russia — only Brazil, Germany and Spain are seen as more likely world champions.

France begin their Group C campaign against Australia in Kazan on June 2016.

But Les Bleus, who beat Ireland 2-0 on Monday night, have two more warm-up fixtures to play first — against Italy and the USA.
