France coach Didier Deschamps revealed yesterday that his top goalkeeper Hugo Lloris is “finding life difficult” as he continues to play understudy to Tottenham team-mate Brad Friedel.
“He has had insufficient playing time (with his club) and is finding life difficult,” explained the former Monaco, Juventus and Marseille coach.
“His situation is difficult and weighing on him which is not ideal and something I understand.
“To find himself on the bench after the match he played for us against Spain is not easy,” the former France captain said.
