Montpellier's players have returned to training following their recent swine flu scare.

Three players from Les Heraultais' first-team squad contracted the illness, forcing the postponement of last Saturday's trip to Monaco and keeping the side off the training ground for three days.

But they returned from quarantine for a 30-minute session of light jogging and some gym work this morning.

Physio Nicolas Girard told the club's official website: "This break was not anticipated and has changed my plans, but I do not feel it will hurt the players to rest ahead of a busy December.

"We must assess the fitness level of each player and they will have to rediscover their rhythm."
