Karim Benzema has admitted his exile from the French national team was hard but is keen to draw a line under his contentious relationship with the team ahead of his return.
The 33-year-old striker had been cast aside by coach Didier Deschamps since 2015 following his alleged role in the sex-tape blackmail of former France teammate Mathieu Valbuena.
But he was recalled to the French squad for this summer's European Championships after a series of excellent performances for his club, Real Madrid.
Speaking on Sunday, Benzema said there were regrets from his past but he insisted he is solely focused on France's performances in the summer tournament.
