France Team News
Goalkeepers: Hugo Lloris (Captain), Steve Mandanda, Mike Maignan
Defenders: Benjamin Pavard, Presnel Kimpembe, Raphaël Varane, Clément Lenglet, Kurt Zouma, Lucas Digne, Lucas Hernandez, Léo Dubois, Jules Koundé
Midfielders: Paul Pogba, Thomas Lemar, Corentin Tolisso, N'Golo Kanté, Adrien Rabiot, Moussa Sissoko
Forwards: Antoine Griezmann, Olivier Giroud, Kylian Mbappé, Ousmane Dembélé, Karim Benzema, Kingsley Coman, Wissam Ben Yedder, Marcus Thuram
Lucas Digne is injured and Lucas Hernandez is doubtful which means Leo Dubois should start at left-back.
Corentin Tolisso is likely to make way for Adrien Rabiot in midfield and Benjamin Pavard should replace Jules Kounde at right-back.
Ousmane Dembele suffered a knee injury against Hungary and is out for the rest of the tournament.
