According to French sports outlet RMC Sport, France will line up in a 4-3-3 formation against Poland in their final group stage match, with Kylian Mbappé returning to the starting eleven.
The report indicates that despite Didier Deschamps mentioning Mbappé’s discomfort while wearing a mask, the forward is still expected to start. The team’s attacking setup will see changes, with Antoine Griezmann set to be on the bench after missing scoring opportunities in the previous game.
Renowned journalist Julien Laurens also reports that Mbappé not only will start but will also assume the captain’s armband.
Heading into the match, France, with four points, is already guaranteed a spot in the next round even if they finish third. Thus, the match primarily serves to determine their knockout stage opponents.
