Chelsea boss Frank Lampard has warned Olivier Giroud it must be club before country.

Giroud has made only two starts this season and France coach Didier Deschamps has appealed for his leading striker to be given more game time.

But Lampard insisted: It is difficult for me and it is difficult for them we both have our jobs so it doesn't feature in my thinking. I have care for all the players. I have to pick the squad as I see it for the best of Chelsea as they do for their countries.

I have got three strikers to pick from and I have to make the choices. Again I can't complain about any of their attitudes.

Things will look different and that is where you need professionalism. Between those three I have had it from all of them."
