France's players refused to train on Sunday following Nicolas Anelka's expulsion from the squad for verbally abusing coach Raymond Domenech.
Domenech read out a statement from his squad which said: "The French Football Federation did not at any time try to protect the group.
"To show our opposition to the decision taken [on Anelka], all the players decided not to take part in training."
The French Football Federation's managing director subsequently quit.
