Didier Deschamps makes two changes from the inaugural success against Australia (4-1).
This Saturday, against Denmark, the France team will keep its scheme with four defenders but half of the line is renewed.
The taulier Raphaël Varane, restored a month after his hamstring injury with Manchester United, regains his starting place in the right axis.
He will be accompanied by Dayot Upamecano, very prominent on Tuesday.
The big loser of this composition is called Benjamin Pavard.
He gives up his place as right-back to Jules Koundé, another defender who prefers the axis but was chosen during this competition to occupy the corridor.
The composition:
Lloris (c) - Koundé, Varane, Upamecano, T. Hernandez - Tchouaméni, Rabiot - Dembélé, Griezmann, Mbappé - Giroud
Ousmane Dembele confirmed
Didier Deschamps does not want to relive the same “miseries” as in June and September against Denmark.
These two defeats give the measure of the team of Christian Eriksen, who must collect points after their draw against Tunisia (0-0).
The tricolor midfielder, again formed by the duo Aurélien Tchouaméni-Adrien Rabiot and a freer Antoine Griezmann, will have to rectify the few imbalances glimpsed against the Socceroos at the loss of the ball.

From his right wing, the wisp Ousmane Dembélé will also be involved in these defensive tasks.
Olivier Giroud, one unit away from the absolute record number of goals in the France team, will be in charge of carrying out the actions.
Just like Kylian Mbappé on the left.
Kick-off 5 p.m., in France.
