According to L’Equipe, ahead of France’s quarter-final against Portugal, Didier Deschamps might deploy Eduardo Camavinga in the absence of the suspended Adrien Rabiot, with Kylian Mbappe and Antoine Griezmann likely to maintain their positions on the left and right wings, respectively.
In the round of 16, Rabiot picked up a yellow card, ruling him out of the crucial clash due to accumulation. The French manager now has the choice of either reverting Griezmann to a midfield role or finding another player to fill Rabiot’s spot. L’Equipe suggests that, without explicitly stating it, a pattern is emerging. Deschamps is highly likely to turn to Camavinga for the quarter-final, despite the young midfielder not yet securing a regular starting position in the national team. However, his abilities are not in question.
On the other hand, despite a fortunate victory over Belgium thanks to an own goal, Deschamps was content with the tactical tweaks made in that match. This implies that for the upcoming encounter against Portugal, he will stick with a 4-3-3 formation, with Wissam Ben Yedder as the lone striker, Mbappe on the left, and Griezmann continuing to support from the right flank.
