Nicolas Anelka has been expelled from his country's concentration in South Africa.
Rumors have been growing until Anelka didn't show up for his team's training today at 16:00, at that time French Federation Vice-President, Navidad Graet, was forced to tell the news.
This morning Anelka had a reunion with french captain Evra to try and solve the situation.
Following that meeting, a French committee had another one in which it was decided that Anelka should be expelled.
Anelka insulted his coach after being substituted in half time in the game against Mexico.
Domenech said to him that he wasn't playing good enough and after Anelka answered angrily, he was informed that he was out of the match.
He told his coach to "F*ck off, dirty son of a b*tch."
After expelling Anelka, Domenech is left with only 21 players, as his third goalkeeper is injured and won't be able to play against South Africa.
It's not the first time that Anelka has problems because of his temper. He refused to play for the team in 2002 because he thought that only calling him because a player was injured (Govou) was denigrating him.
