Didier Deschamps gives explanation for snubbing Dembele from France squad ahead of November international break

Didier Deschamps has explained Ousmane Dembele's omission from his latest France squad.

Dembele returned to action with Barcelona last month after almost a year on the sidelines following surgery on a hamstring injury.

“Does he still have a chance? Yes, of course, Dembele is coming back from a major injury. We must give him time,” Deschamps told a press conference on Thursday. 

“We must give him time. I know what he is capable of. He had physical problems, but now it is up to him to find his full potential.”
