The duo Paul Pogba-Steven Nzonzi will be associated with the recovery.
Few surprises in defense with regard to the injured and players preserved in anticipation of the shock against Portugal on Saturday in Lisbon.
Lucas Digne and Léo Dubois occupy the corridors.
Kurt Zouma and Clément Lenglet will form the hinge.
In the absence of Hugo Lloris, placed on the bench, it is Steve Mandanda who keeps the goal.
The Marseille goalkeeper wears the captain's armband for the second time in his international career.
Composition of the French team
Mandanda (cap.) - Dubois, Zouma, Lenglet, Digne - Sissoko, Pogba, Nzonzi, Thuram - Giroud, Ben Yedder.
