France manager Didier Deschamps claims that his side will be ready to demonstrate "explosivity and speed" when the 2018 World Cup gets underway in Russia.

France boss Didier Deschamps has insisted that his side will be ready to show "explosivity and speed" when the World Cup gets underway in Russia next week.

Les Bleus' final in-game preparations proved tepid on Saturday evening when France were held to a 1-1 draw with the USA, but Deschamps has since moved to state that his side will be raring to go come the start of the tournament.

"I'm satisfied with the work we have done," said Deschamps after the draw at the Groupama Stadium.

"Tonight's wasn't the best of our three matches but I'm not complaining about our troubles.

"Even though it's linked to the recent workload, fatigue can be no excuse. No we'll get to work on our explosivity and speed."

France's Group C campaign kicks off on Saturday, June 16 against Australia at the Kazan Arena.
