The France coach was asked whether he will start Karim Benzema in France’s World Cup final against Argentina on Sunday.
Deschamps refused to answer the question and instead prodded the journalist to move to the next question.
His gesture was seen as outright disapproval of Karim Benzema’s return amid the rumors that the Ballon d’Or winner was set tot return to the team.
Responding to Didier Deschamps’ snub, Karim Benzema has taken to Instagram to post a picture of himself relaxed with his bushy beard and donning a baseball cap.
Karim Benzema added a provocative caption, “I don’t care,” to the post, believed to be directed at Deschamps for snubbing him.
