Spurs defender not expecting recall from Blanc

Tottenham defender William Gallas has given up hope of playing for France again under Laurent Blanc. The 34-year-old, who has won 84 caps for France, has not been involved with Les Bleus since the 2010 World Cup finals in South Africa. Gallas believes he still has a lot to offer, but he concedes he is unlikely to win a recall from Blanc ahead of this summer's Euro 2012 finals. "There was a time when I thought I would be recalled," Gallas told French TV channel TF1. "It has not happened. From then on, it became clear to me that France team was over for me. "The only thing I can say is that I still have the legs to play."
