This is really a shocker: Anelka has been recalled to the French national squad. The Fenerbahce striker, former winner of the Champions League with Real Madrid said it was ‘an immense surprise’ even for him.

 Anelka has often courted controversy by making comments on his prolonged international absence, and many felt his France days were behind him. Indeed sports daily L’Equipe described Anelka’s recall as “an immense surprise”, adding: “It may have stemmed from Domenech’s desire to prove he has no blacklist - or perhaps he simply wants to help a player who was once a great hope get back on track.”

It reamains to be seen if Anelka, who refused to come to the national team in 2002 because didn’t want to play reserve, will accept that right now, because frankly, I don’t think he could replace either Henry or Trezeguet. More, aside these are other players, one that comes to mind quickly being Liverpool’s Djibril Cisse.

Well, Anelka showed that he has some great qualities over the years and I think it is good news for us to see that he still has a chance to reach the finals in Germany.
