Deschamps said ahead of Sunday's tie with Azerbaijan: "He made a very, very good entrance (against Ukraine). Just under 30 minutes. That's good. All the better. He deserves credit.
"He's one of the players who hasn't had much experience with us, but it's a positive thing, like for other players. He made a thunderous entrance. He even scored. He's happy, he's doing very well, he wants to play.
"They all have an interest in making the most of their playing time, and that was the case for him on Thursday."
