The 29-year-old returned to training this morning after being in the wilderness since February 4 following an angry outburst during the Coupe de la Ligue semi-final defeat to Bordeaux.

Kezman threw his jersey on the pitch in disgust as he was being substituted but believes the fans - and coach Paul Le Guen - are now ready to put the matter behind them.

"I am confident. They (the fans) know my character," the former Chelsea and Fenerbahce player told www.lequipe.fr.

"They know who I am and what I did. I am not afraid.

"I spoke with Paul today. The past is the past. I made a mistake and I apologised.

"Physically I feel fine. I'm in shape."
