France coach Raymond Domenech says he won't hold Karim Benzema's criticism this week against the Real Madrid striker.

Benzema admitted he didn't know where he stood with Domenech and the France coach replied: "What he said is unacceptable - at first. He was wrong to say such things.

"But behind that, he said he understood that even if he can only play five minutes, he will give something. I'll retain him. I do not condemn people on a sentence."
