Tottenham skipper Lloris insists Giroud, Mbappe spat not impacting France

Hugo Lloris insists the spat between Olivier Giroud and Kylian Mbappe has not affected France.

Giroud complained about the service he has received in a dig to Mbappe, with the PSG star then responding publicly saying that he was affected by the comments.

"To be honest with you, it made a lot more noise outside than inside," Lloris said at a press conference ahead of Tuesday's clash with Germany.

"Olivier and Kylian had a discussion the day after the game, but there is nothing abnormal.

"There was a small disagreement, but these things happen in a dressing room. But in no way did it affect the team or the team as a whole.

"It was handled in the right way. It's behind us. Now I want to say let's get on with the game and the competition."
