Deschamps was unsure if Martial would play against Bosnia on Wednesday, but he ruled out Martial being sidelined for an extended period.

"Anthony has a small issue on his knee. Nothing is decided yet," Deschamps said on Tuesday.

"He won't be taking part in the training session a bit later. We'll see tomorrow.

"Anything serious has been dismissed. We've run some tests, but there's still the pain, and having travelled as long as we have, that hasn't helped."
