Coach Didier Deschamps decided to leave Dayot Upamecano behind and gave justification.
Didier Deschamps claims that since the defender was left out of the France team, Dayot Upamecano is going through a ‘tough time.’
RB Leipzig player Upamecano, a three-time international from France, will have his chances in the future, said Deschamps.
“There is a lot of competition in this position. He was with us before. He’s going through a more difficult moment,” the France coach told a news conference.”
“He knows he can do better. He was quite emotional during his first call up in September, and in October as well. He’s a young player and he has the potential. He’s playing many games.”
“Of course, if it’s not him, it’s another, it’s about the competition. Kurt Zouma in that case, who’s doing very well, he’s a starter at Chelsea and he knows the French team as well.”
“The door is not closed. I make that choice today because it’s logical to me. Will it be the same in March and June? It’s the same thing for all of the players who were not called but can hope to be in the national team.”
