Three days after defeating Israel (1-4), Didier Deschamps should shake up his starting lineup to balance playing times. Five changes are likely to be made during the clash against Belgium in the Nations League.
It was predictable and it risks being recorded. Didier Deschamps should make changes to his eleven to face Belgium in the Nations League. The Blues coach has made changes to all positions except goal, according to The Team.
Mike Maignan would find his place in the cages and would be defended by a Koundé – Konaté – Saliba – Digne defense. The Aston Villa left-back would replace Théo Hernandez in the match against Israel. In the middle, Michael Olise and Eduardo Camavinga would give way to Manu Koné and Mattéo Guendouzi. Bradley Barcola would take his place on the left wing, Ousmane Dembélé would remain on the right and the axis would be occupied by Marcus Thuram.
Starting XI: Maignan – Kounde, Conate, Saliba, Digne – Tchouameni, Guendouzi, Kone – Dembele, Thuram, Barcola
Deschamps now has one objective: to regain the lead of his Nations League group. The French technician hopes that his squad will finish in the first two positions of their group to reach the rest of the competition.
After three days, one point separates the Blues from the first Italians with seven points gleaned. Belgium are third with four points and could see a gap open in the event of a defeat on Monday. France would strike a big blow before preparing a trip to the Boot with first place at stake.
