Arsenal defender Koscielny confident of big World Cup for France

Arsenal defender Laurent Koscielny has hopes of a big World Cup with France.

France have been drawn against Switzerland, Ecuador and Honduras in Group E, and Koscielny is confident they can progress.

"We are not favourites [to win the World Cup] but we're in a group where we can finish first," he said. "But we need to play the games to win and that's the most difficult thing.

"We will go there with ambition. We have a young group and all the players can get more experience. It's very important for the experienced players to help the young ones because it's a big competition.

"We played well before so we just need to be together as a unit and see what we can do in the competition."
