As we mentioned earlier, Laurent Koscielny feels abandoned by the French national team. Didier Deschamps admitted that such criticism from the defender was unexpected.
The "Arsenal" defender spoke out about his thoughts on the coach's actions and ended his international career.
D. Deschamps addressed the press:
"I was surprised, all my staff were shocked, we all sent him supportive messages.
I personally called him after his injury, talked to him about rehabilitation.
I invited him to join us for the preparation for the championship, to spend time with us."
