Maignan was asked about the rant by reporters after the game but declined to comment.
"What is said in the locker room stays between us," he said, as per Goal.
"We came up against a big team that defended well together. We have to move on. We can't play every match with clean sheets.
"I'm having a hard time with it, the group is having a hard time with it. We'll discuss it [on Saturday]. There's no need to worry. When you lose a match, it's not the end of the world.
"We all have a role to play on the pitch. We know we have to do better, this French team has to win. We're not going to make excuses, we're going to question ourselves and move forward."
