Deschamps hopes for Brandao stay

The Brazilian has slipped down the pecking order following the arrivals of Loic Remy and Andre-Pierre Gignac this summer.

As a result, Brandao has hinted at a move elsewhere, but Deschamps insists: “I hope I have time to keep Brandao, for the great contribution he can make to the team, including defensive work and [when we] are not in possession.”
