Arsenal centre-back Laurent Koscielny, who missed France's World Cup triumph in Russia due to injury, said on Sunday his international career was "finished". The 33-year-old had intended to retire from France duty following the tournament, but the defender was ruled out of Didier Deschamps' squad for the finals after rupturing his Achilles tendon in May.

"The injury is one thing, the World Cup win is another. I think the victory certainly hurt me much more psychologically than my injury," Koscielny told Canal Plus. "The World Cup will remain a dark stage of my career and my life."
