Reports in the French media claimed that the Barcelona striker was considering international retirement following the outrage concerning his antics, but Evra believes otherwise.

"We are arguing about Henry when we should be erecting a statue to him," he is quoted by the News of the World as saying.

"'Titi' is ready now for South Africa. The lad feels bad because his own people are attacking him, but he is solid.

"But I just don't accept that people should attack our captain that way.

"For the world's press to destroy him, no problem. But for we, in France, to join in, it's not on. It has to stop."
