France captain Patrice Evra has revealed an enquiry is to be opened by the French government into Les Bleus' disastrous World Cup campaign.
The squad flew back from South Africa on Thursday following a dismal performance where they mustered a solitary point from three games and gained notoriety for a training ground boycott in protest at the decision by the French Football Federation (FFF) to send home Nicolas Anelka following a bust-up with coach Raymond Domenech.
"An investigation will be opened by the ministry and all the players will be heard," Evra told TF1. "Each one of us will say what they experienced and will say the truth."
