It seems unlikely that he will earn a spot in the\u00a0Euro 2024\u00a0team, with\u00a0Deschamps yet to be convinced on his skill.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is having a good season, but he also does things that I don\u2019t like so much,\u201d Deschamps said. \u201cFor France, he has limited game time, but when he plays, that hasn\u2019t necessarily gone well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe hierarchy doesn\u2019t favour him at the moment, but he is here. Dayot Upamecano has game time and perhaps William has had less. With certain players, I make sure to persevere, because it can be confidence or little blockages that can shift.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/01hsx56tpydec633m6a5.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Didier Deschamps\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Deschamps has explained Saliba\u2019s lack of game time \/ Catherine Steenkeste\/GettyImages<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<p>\u201cSome don\u2019t have any concerns, some need game time.
