France coach Didier Deschamps has told Barcelona attacker Ousmane Dembele to sort himself out.

Deschamps, addressing Dembele's axing at Barca, says it is nothing new for Dembele to be late for training, but has warned him that he needs to change his ways if he is to carve out a successful career at the top.

"I haven't talk with the staff of Barcelona because I don't interfere in the daily business of clubs," he told a media conference.

"It's their responsibility and it's up to them to manage their players, on and off the field.

"Ousmane has been with us for a while. That's his usual trick to be late, but in his defence, I'm sure he'll say: 'I'm not the only one.'

"Whether at a big club like Barcelona, in the French national team or elsewhere, he has to pay attention to that.

"It's part of the life and requirements of a professional footballer.

"He must improve to prevent it from becoming negative. These are situations that can be repeated. The sooner he understands that, the better for everyone."
