William Saliba's INEXPERIENCE was the reason he was taken off early against Denmark, says France manager Didier Deschamps after the in-form Arsenal defender was hooked at half time in 2-0 defeat

France manager Didier Deschamps has claimed that William Saliba's inexperience lead to his substitution at half time of France's 2-0 defeat to Denmark.

France were two down at the interval of their final Nations League group game, and Deschamps made the decision to hook the Arsenal defender at the interval alongside Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga.

The changes didn't make too much of a difference and the side lost for the third time in six Nations League games, avoiding relegation by one point, and Deschamps admitted via the Mirror that his 'young French side' caused him some issues in the game.
