France coach Didier Deschamps says he won't ask too much from Arsenal midfielder Matteo Guendouzi.

Deschamps called up the youngster to replace the injured Paul Pogba, of Manchester United.

He explained, "Do not ask too much, he's a young player, who is still the Espoirs generation, who plays a lot of matches with Arsenal where there is strong competition.

"He's the modern midfielder, box to box as they say there, with a lot of power and technical quality too. He's there. What I expect from young people is that they bring this freshness, this dynamism.

"He is a very young player but with a very big potential."
