Zinedine Zidane will speak publicly for the first time tonight on his controversial sending-off in the World Cup final.

The Frenchman has so far not commented on the red card he received for head-butting Italy's Marco Materazzi in extra time in Berlin on Sunday.

The 34-year-old will appear on French TV station Canal Plus at 7pm when he is expected to give his account of the incident, into which Fifa have launched an investigation.
