France manager Didier Deschamps has hinted he will bring back his experienced defenders for the World Cup in Qatar.

Arsenal youngster William Saliba started alongside Benoit Badiashile and Dayot Upamecano in a back-three in France's 2-0 defeat to Denmark on Sunday.

And Deschamps admits his inexperienced backline were out of their depth against the Danes, who they will play in the World Cup group stages.

"I don't think it's a shipwreck, we also had a lot of chances but we were ineffective, we made some errors when playing out from the back," Deschamps told TF1 after the game.

"It's a young French side, where the majority of the players don't have experience at the very highest level.

"It's not a question of formations, but when you have four corners and a Danish player is left alone each time, you can play with three, five or twelve at the back, it doesn't change a thing.

"There's no need to worry, the fact that the players with international experience are coming back will do us good."
