Didier Deschamps explains Alexandre Lacazette omission

Speaking to reporters at this afternoon’s press conference, France boss Didier Deschamps was asked about Arsenal forward Alexandre Lacazette’s omission from the latest squad.

“There is competition for each position. When the players who were at the World Cup are performing well… It is not a question of type of player, but of position. I need balance in the squad and he is a central attacker. He must continue.”
