I feel bad about him missing the penalty. That can't be good for his confidence, but as a professional he should get over it. I hope that he comes out all guns blazing again next time he plays for the club. A goal for him in the coming weeks would be something special!

Chelsea striker Nicolas Anelka has hailed the potential of 18-year-old compatriot and team-mate Gael Kakuta.

Kakutaspacer.gif courted controversy earlier in the season after Fifa ruled that Chelsea had induced the player to break his contract with old club Lens in 2007.

The French youngster was initially banned for four months as a result but his punishment, along with the Chelsea transfer ban, has now been suspended.

He has been allowed some first-team action as a result and the fleeting glimpses have already displayed Kakuta's potential.

Fellow Frenchman Anelka says the winger has all the abilities to be a world-class player after he gains some more Premier League experience.

Vision

"He is quick, very clever, he can see the game before everyone and can create great assists," Anelka told L'Equipe.

"When he gets a little more experience, he will be amazing."

Meanwhile, France Under 19 coach Francis Smerecki has compared Kakuta to Brazilian superstar Ronaldinho, but ruled out a surprise call-up to the nation's senior squad for the foreseeable future.

"We called him up to the to the Under 19 side when he was suspended, because we wanted to show we were there to support him," Smerecki said.

"Like Ronaldinho, he can be a match-winner, but he is more of a team player."

He added: "The French team? We must not go too fast. He will join the Under 21s along with three or four players next year.

"He will play for the French team one day, that is for sure."
