Real Madrid midfielder Claude Makelele will continue to protest over his demand for a pay rise despite the club's decision to discipline him for refusing to train yesterday.
"Right now I am not even thinking of training or anything like it," the French international told a Spanish newspaper today. "I don't feel right and when you feel like that it is best not to force yourself".
Makelele's agent, Marc Roger, said the player had started the protest because he felt undervalued by the club.
Roger said: "If they [Real] continue to pay him the same amount then I'm sure he will not stay. He can't carry on like this. There are players in the squad like [David] Beckham who are earning five times as much as him."
Roger claimed yesterday that Chelsea had made a £7 million bid for the player.
Real Madrid sporting director Jorge Valdano said Makelele's refusal to train with the rest of the squad would result in disciplinary action and he would not now meet with representatives from Chelsea who were due to travel to Madrid on Monday.
