France coach Didier Deschamps hopes to lift the confidence of Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud ahead of the World Cup.
Giroud has endured a tough season on and off the pitch in England.
Deschamps said: "For the sake of their confidence, it would be a lot better if they didn't have problems at their clubs but unfortunately that is what has happened. And they might be pleased to get away from that in some ways.
"It is what happens. The only thing is that normally if the club have a good season, the player has a good season. I will have three weeks with them after the end of the season to make sure they are OK."
