(Reuters) - Despite a good run this season with Premier League side Arsenal, defender William Saliba still needs to iron out some kinks in his game before he can be brought into France's starting lineup, manager Didier Deschamps said.

Saliba, 23, has started six games in 12 appearances for Les Bleus but was left on the bench during their 2-0 home defeat to Germany in a friendly on Saturday though he is expected to feature in Tuesday's friendly against Chile.
