Didier Deschamps is determined not to play judge and jury over France striker Karim Benzema, who could miss Euro 2016.
France coach Didier Deschamps has defended Karim Benzema's character amid an extortion case involving international teammate Mathieu Valbuena.
Real Madrid striker Benzema has been charged with complicity in an attempt to blackmail and participating in a criminal conspiracy as part of an investigation into a sex-tape plot involving Valbuena.
He was consequently banned indefinitely by the French Football Federation (FFF) back in December.
But Deschamps, who could be without Benzema for Euro 2016, is determined not to play judge and jury.
