France coach Didier Deschamps says Barcelona attacker Antoine Griezmann has a guaranteed place in his squad.

No matter his struggles with Barca, Deschamps insists Griezmann remains in his plans.

He explained, "All the players come to the national team with a smile.

"Les Bleus represent the top and the high competition. Antoine or Paul (Pogba) have necessarily been impacted by what they have recently experienced in a club or in their daily life. The Bleus are a breath of fresh air for them.

"When I hear the debates around Antoine on the theme: 'Is Griezmann indispensable to the Bleus?" It's such a ridiculous question! Antoine or Paul also have this pride and this pride of the great."
