Didier Deschamps: 'Nigeria can cause us problems'

France boss Didier Deschamps believes that his side will be tested at the back by Nigeria in their second-round clash at the World Cup.

France boss Didier Deschamps has expressed his belief that Nigeria have the ability to cause his side problems in their second-round World Cup clash.

Stephen Keshi's side took four points from their three Group F games, losing only to Argentina in a tight match.

The 45-year-old is adamant that his side can't afford to rest on their laurels in their last-16 clash in Brasilia.

Deschamps told reporters: "They will undoubtedly cause us problems on a physical level and they have forwards who can make the difference at any moment."

France face Nigeria for a place in the quarters later today.
