William Gallas is confident that he will be fit to play for France in this summer's World Cup finals.

Gallas was carrying a calf injury when he was risked for Arsenal's UEFA Champions League quarter-final first-leg with Barcelona.

The gamble did not pay off for Arsenal or Gallas as he was forced off just before half-time, and he was ruled out for the rest of the season.

Gallas is now confident he will be on the plane to South Africa with the French squad.

The 32-year-old also refuses to blame Arsenal for the injury, as he insists he wanted to play against Barca.

"I want to play in that match, because I am a competitor," he told CanalPlus.

"I want to play against the best players and I had an agreement from the medical staff and fitness coach.

"Now my objective is not to suffer any relapse and I am confident.

"If you are not confident, you can forget about the World Cup."
