France coach Didier Deschamps has again stated he'd like to see Olivier Giroud leave Chelsea in January.

Giroud struck twice in victory over Sweden last night.

But Deschamps believes the centre-forward isn't firing on all cylinders due to his limited role at Chelsea and said at the final whistle: "I talk with him, he is aware of the situation.

"He comes with a physical deficit. Since October, he has had very, very little playing time. The first game (against Finland) has served him well. He returned to Portugal well. There, he put two beautiful goals.

"He has a situation in his club which does not suit him, which does not allow him to arrive in the best conditions."
