Henry to forgo bonus

The French squad renounced their rights to the bonus payment, with the exception of Nicolas Anelka, who said he intended to give his bonus to help the amateur game in the country, and Thierry Henry.

The former Arsenal striker confirmed to L’equipe: “It was only on Tuesday that my agent received an e-mail from the FFF (the French Football Federation). In order to sign a document you have to be aware of it first. It will be signed and approved.”
