France coach Didier Deschamps insists the problems engulfing Barcelona striker Ousmane Dembele are overblown.

Despite Dembele's future with Barca now under threat due to discipline and attitude problems, Deschamps insists the situation isn't as serious as claimed.

"When you ask me if you have to punish ... I'll always make sure that I go to the end so that they understand. Such players are young, they need to be accompanied also in their club obviously.

"Everyone has the right to make errors but ... there is nothing wrong, it is not very serious either but it is better not to talk about outside-sport problems."
