Didier Deschamps has said it over and over again: against Belgium, he wants to see as many players as possible. During the traditional pre-match session at the Parc OL, the coach covered his tracks. But according to our information, the trend is for Kylian Mbappé and Antoine Griezmann to start on the bench.
No risks will be taken, especially for the Real Madrid striker. As revealed by RMC Sport, the staff of the French team was informed by that of Real Madrid of the Spanish leaders’ desire to give Mbappé a break. A wish that Didier Deschamps seems to have heard.
Another major change expected on Monday evening: Bradley Barcola should be replaced on the left by the other Parisian Randal Kolo Muani. A choice that comes a week before the big return of the Champions League.
Several changes expected
Compared to the match against Italy, Didier Deschamps would think about making 7 changes. In particular a possible return of the Euro hinge with Dayot Upamecano-William Saliba. The opportunity for Manu Koné to celebrate his first start. Michaël Olise could have the opportunity to show once again the extent of all his talent, in a different position (playmaker).
At the forefront of the attack, Marcus Thuram should benefit from a new chance. Although he has not always performed with the Blues during Euro 2024, the striker has found a second wind at club level with Inter Milan where he is scoring goals with four goals already in three Serie A games.
The probable composition of the Blues in 4-2-3-1: Maignan – Conde, Upamecano, Saliba, Digne – Fofana, Cone – Dembele, Olise, Kolo-Muani – Thuram.
