Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how France could line up for Tuesday’s World Cup qualifier against Iceland.
France will be forced to make at minimum one change on Tuesday to the XI that takes on Iceland in the sides’ World Cup qualifier due to Desire Doue‘s injury.
The Paris Saint-Germain forward was taken off for teammate Ousmane Dembele against Ukraine on Friday, but his replacement was also taken off the pitch.
Liverpool’s Hugo Ekitike may come into the XI, but he could be forced to play on the right side of attack in a relatively unfamiliar role.
It would be surprising if head coach Didier Deschamps did not select Kylian Mbappe, Bradley Barcola and Michael Olise to fill out the forward line.
In the middle of the pitch, Manu Kone was partnered by Aurelien Tchouameni, and the duo are the most probable candidates to appear in a double pivot.
With William Saliba sidelined due to a hamstring issues, Ibrahima Konate and Dayot Upamecano have established themselves as Deschamps’s first options in the heart of the backline.
Jules Kounde and Lucas Digne can be expected to be stationed as full-backs, while goalkeeper Mike Maignan is likely to feature.
France possible starting lineup: Maignan; Kounde, Konate, Upamecano, Digne; Tchouameni, Kone; Ekitike, Olise, Barcola; Mbappe
