Speaking on William Saliba, Didier Deschamps said: "He hasn’t had a lot of game time with us. He is performing well for his club.
"At international level, he hasn’t always found himself in the best conditions in matches where I’ve rotated a lot.
"He isn’t in the same psychological situation with his club, where he doesn’t ask himself if he’ll play at the weekend.
"When he has game time with us, he tells himself he needs to play well because there are others behind him.
"He is not in a psychological situation that is the same as at his club. He has everything he needs to take the next step."
Saliba has started four games with the national side since breaking into the set-up last year, coming on six times as a substitute.
He has played for the full 90 minutes in all of their Premier League games.
