Didier Deschamps hints that Olivier Giroud must force Chelsea exit and find 'another situation' in order to secure place in his France squad for Euro 2020 finals

France boss Didier Deschamps believes Olivier Giroud will have to find a way to leave Chelsea in January if he hopes to make his Euro 2020 squad.

The 34-year-old striker has made just one start under Frank Lampard this season, which came in the eventual defeat by Tottenham in the Carabao Cup Round of 16 tie in late September.

His only goal for the Stamford Bridge outfit this season also came in the League Cup against Barnsley, but he has only played 33 minutes in the Premier League this campaign and seen just 27 minutes of Champions League action.
