Tottenham captain Hugo Lloris admits it's a relief to be back with the France squad.
Lloris says joining up with his fellow World Cup winners can offer some respite from the pressures of club football.
He explained: "The France team is still a common thread in a player's career. It can give a little breath of oxygen.
"It happened to me personally after a bad patch with my club. Everything is done to restore the confidence of the players, and we are ready to meet the requirements of the highest level.
"Everything is there to be really focused on the goal of the France team and it's still a good thing."
