The former Chelsea defender has backed Didier Deschamps’ decision not to select the Manchester United winger after an “up and down” season
William Gallas thinks that Didier Deschamps made the right call in not selecting Anthony Martial for the World Cup, although he believes Alexandre Lacazette can feel aggrieved at not being picked.
Both players are on France’s stand-by list for Russia, with there being fierce competition for places in the squad with attacking talents such as Antoine Griezmann, Ousmane Dembele, Nabil Fekir and Kylian Mbappe all named as past of Deschamps’ 23-man group.
