Welcome to this live dedicated to the match of the France team against Switzerland, a nation that the Blues know well having faced it four times in the final phase of a major tournament since 2004. Twice at the Euro ( in 2004 and 2016) but also in the World Cup (in 2006 and 2014). Four confrontations at the end of which the Blues remain undefeated (two wins, two draws).
What? France, first out of a group F raised, finds Switzerland, qualified among the best third of the hens. While his team was in difficulty in the last match against the Portuguese (2-2), Didier Deschamps must now deal with certain absences. Injured in the last match, Digne and Koundé are forfeited, as is Marcus Thuram, injured in training. Long uncertain for a knee injury, Lucas Hernandez is finally fit. France should play with a system with three central defenders.
Likely compositions:
France :
Lloris – Varane, Lenglet, Kimpembe – Pavard, Kanté, Pogba, Rabiot – Griezmann – Mbappé, Benzema.
Coach: Didier Deschamps.
Swiss :
