Tottenham captain Hugo Lloris admits France's players are struggling to shake off their form slide.

Bounced out of the Euros over the summer, France limped to a 1-1 draw with World Cup qualifying opponents Ukraine last week.

Lloris said: "We had a halt during the Euro, elimination hurt us. Are we healed? Apparently this is not the case. But I can see players who want to give their all. There are times when you can't find a solution or a success. But we must continue to surpass ourselves.

"We will have to raise the level, and above all find success. After the world title, we had this strength, this success. We have to rework, it's not going to happen overnight."
