The temperamental 32-year-old triggered a meltdown at last year's World Cup, when his expulsion led to team-mates calling an ill-judged strike before France were dumped out in the first round. Anelka was later banned for 18 matches effectively ending his international career. Anelka told Chelsea's website: "I don't miss it, I'm glad to be out of it.
