France boss Didier Deschamps says Frank Lampard spoke to him about not selecting N'Golo Kante for Les Bleus.
However, after picking Kante in his squad to face Iceland and Turkey in their Euro 2020 qualifiers, Deschamps says he is minded to ask Lampard if the Chelsea boss can give Olivier Giroud more game-time instead.
"Lampard had asked me not to pick Kante at the last break," Deschamps told a press conference on Thursday.
"If that's still the way I'm going to call him later to tell him it would be nice if you play Olivier Giroud a little bit!"

Deschamps is really stupid to play Giroud for the National team....He should play Lacazette or someone else who is far better than him!
