Nicolas Anelka is set to announce his retirement from international football.
The striker was sent home from the World Cup after a bust-up with French manager Raymond Domenech.
It now appears the French team have refused to tran over the bust up with the Team Director saying he was ashamed.
"It's a scandal for the French, for the young people here. It's a scandal for the federation and the French team. They don't want to train. It's unacceptable".
"As for me, it's over. I'm leaving the federation. I'm sickened and disgusted."
Update: A statement has been released on the players refusing to train,
"The French Football Federation did not at any time try to protect the group. They took a decision uniquely based on facts reported by the press. As a consequence and to show our opposition to the decision taken by officials of the federation, all the players decided not to take part in today's training session."
