"He (Deschamps) called me once for my birthday in September. Otherwise, no.Koscielny made an impressive 51 caps for his country between the years of 2011 to 2018.
"Lots of people disappointed me. Not only the coach. It feels like a hit on the back of the head."
And the Arsenal man has now that the revealed the psychological damage of missing out on the World Cup was harder to get over than the injury itself.
The centre back added:
"France's World Cup victory did me a lot more psychological damage than my injury did me.
"I think that I have given everything I can for France, I am 33, I have done 2 Euros, 1 World Cup. France has a great generation of great players now. My injury does not change my decision. For Les Bleus, it is finished.
"When you are in good form, you have lots of friends. When you are injured… after a certain period of time, you are forgotten about."
