Deschamps: Giroud Chelsea situation now improving

France coach Didier Deschamps is happy seeing Olivier Giroud enjoying more action at Chelsea.

Deschamps had openly encouraged Giroud to quit Chelsea in January for a club where he would play regularly in the lead up to this summer's Euros.

But with Giroud still a Chelsea player, Deschamps said: “I'm not worried.

"He didn't have a choice anyway because his will was to leave. He had to get back to work, as they say, and he's had the opportunity to have more playing time in the last two games compared to the last two months."
