Laurent Koscielny hits out at Didier Deschamps

Arsenal player Laurent Koscielny has confirmed his retirement from international football. The 33-year-old had suffered an achilles injury in Arsenal’s Europa League semi-final against Atletico Madrid at the end of last season and missed the World Cup. Koscielny took his chance to swipe at France boss Didier Deschamps by saying that France’s World Cup gave him psychological damage. ‘France’s World Cup victory did me a lot more psychological damage than my injury did me,’ he told Canal +. ‘I think that I have given everything I can for France, I am 33, I have done two Euros, one World Cup. ‘France has a great generation of great players now. My injury does not change my decision. ‘For Les Bleus, it is finished.’
