The former Real Madrid man 28 caps for his country, representing them at Euro 2008, and while he remembers his time with the national team fondly, he is not optimistic of a recall.
"My career with les Bleus is finished," he told Fifa.com,
“It was great, I met [Patrick] Viera, [Lilian] Thuram, [Claude] Makelele and [David] Trezeguet."
The 28-year-old went on to say that he feels his public support for former coach Raymond Domenech counted against him when Laurent Blanc took the reins.
"I praised him in the media, but that did not please his successor who thought I was pro-Domenech. I was just pro-France."
France play Georgia on March 22 and face World and European champions Spain on March 26.
