Deschamps tells Frenchman that he may have to complete January Chelsea deal for this reason

France boss Didier Deschamps has fired a warning to Olivier Giroud as he stated he may have to leave Chelsea in January.

Giroud shocked everyone on the transfer window when he opted to stay at Stamford Bridge, despite the fact he would be behind the likes of Tammy Abraham and Timo Werner heading into the new season.

However, he has failed to get the game time that he was probably hoping for and has had to sit on the bench more often than not, meaning that his future at the club is back up in the air, and now it looks like his international future will be too.

Now Deschamps has fired a warning to Olivier Giroud as he stated he may have to leave  in January, Asked why he picked Anthony Martian ahead of Giroud for the clash against Portugal, Deschamps said: “I make the choices that seem best to me for the France team.

“With Anthony who is a good player, it allows us to have a little more depth.

“Compared to Olivier, he has to be impacted, first of all with the situation he has at his club, knowing that he has a large frame and that he needs rhythm, it’s hard.

“That’s not why I want to lose him, it’s complicated, we’ll talk, but obviously he has every interest in it not lasting, for him, to remain competitive, but we must not forget what he did with us and what he is still able to do.

“Anthony has a different profile but one that gives options. Anthony, today, is more fulfilled and in better physical and psychological conditions, obviously.”

It would be sad to see him leave, but we would understand
