Premiership: Desailly urges Gallas to bide time

Chelsea Captain Marcel Desailly has warned teammate William Gallas that it is too late to force his way into the French World Cup squad - as Manchester United’s Mikael Silvestre is a permanent fixture.

Desailly believes 24-year-old Gallas, who has returned to Chelsea’s line-up after injury recently with improving displays, has a definite international future.
