The head coach of the French national team Didier Deschamps said that he does not plan to call Lille striker Olivier Giroud to the national team. The 39-year-old footballer announced his retirement from the team in the summer.
«He made it clear. Even if he added the words: 'never say never'. If there is a massive epidemic of injuries, as long as he stays in shape and plays, I will have to make a choice. Right now, I’m not asking myself this question and I hope I never will,» Deschamps said.
