Valencia fullback Jeremy Mathieu is unhappy being ignored by France coach Laurent Blanc.
Mathieu has been impressive for Los Che this season.
The uncapped former Toulouse defender told L'Equipe: "It is a disappointment, although it remains in the back of my mind.
"I think (coach) Laurent Blanc has his squad and it will be very difficult to get into it. It is what I lack in my career.
"With the return of Evra, I can't deny I asked myself a lot of questions. Did I deserve to be called up? I don't know but there were several friendly games...
"The team is under reconstruction and I wish I had the chance to show what I was worth. Simple as that.
"But the coach decides. All I can do is work hard and see what happens."
