Anelka sent packing by France
Posted Sunday, June 20, 2010 by PA
France striker Nicolas Anelka has been sent home from the World Cup after refusing to apologise for his half-time rant at coach Raymond Domenech.
The Chelsea forward was not at training on Saturday after the bust-up during Thursday's 2-0 defeat by Mexico, which saw him substituted at the interval. Anelka was asked to apologise by French Football Federation president Jean-Pierre Escalettes and, upon refusing to do so, was asked to leave the squad.
"He will leave the Team France camp on Saturday evening," said a statement on www.fff.fr.
