Lloris: Mbappe-Giroud spat did not affect France team

The goalkeeper says the group has put the issue behind them ahead of a clash with Germany

Hugo Lloris says that the recent war of words between Kylian Mbappe and Olivier Giroud has not impacted France's preparations for their upcoming match against Germany.

Seen by many as favourites to win Euro 2020, France has been at the centre of controversy this week due to the feud, with Giroud complaining about the service he has received in what was seen as a dig at Mbappe.

Mbappe has since responded saying that he was "affected" by Giroud's comments, but Lloris believes his team-mates have put the issue behind them.
