Chelsea and France striker Nicolas Anelka has reiterated the fact he has retired from international football.
Anelka was sent home from a France training camp in Knysna during the 2010 World Cup, and says he will not play for Les Bleus again.
"I have retired officially. I am 100 per cent sure that I will not return," the Chelsea player confirmed to France Soir. "There was no chance that I would return to the national team after what happened on June 19 in Knysna.
"If members had read the newspaper, they would have realized that I have turned a page.
"Anyways, I already play in Blue every weekend with Chelsea," added Anelka.
The 31-year-old was handed an 18-match ban by the FFF for his actions towards then France coach Raymond Domenech.
