Guy Stephan says Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema will have no problem adjusting to the demands of the France squad.
Benzema is back with the Les Bleus after a six-year absence.
Stephan, France coach Didier Deschamps' long time assistant, told Le Figaro: "Great players don't have a problem with that and are made to play together.
"We need the bond with the other players to set in quickly, because we have little time to prepare.
"Karim will be able to meet expectations."
