FRANCE XI TO FACE POLAND: Maignan, Kounde, Upamecano, Saliba, Hernandez, Tchouameni, Kante, Rabiot, Dembele, Barcola, Mbappe; Subs: Areola, Thuram, Camavinga, Clauss, Coman, Fofana, Giroud, Kolo Muani, Konate, Mendy, Pavard, Samba, Zaire-Emery, Griezmann
The big news is that France captain Kylian Mbappe is back in the starting XI after sitting out the draw with the Netherlands with a broken nose. That’s a huge boost for the French who looked fairly limp in attack against the Dutch. Antoine Griezmann drops to the bench with Bradley Barcola coming into the side.
POLAND XI TO FACE FRANCE: Skorupski, Kiwior, Dawidowicz, Bednarek, Zalewski, Moder, Zielinski, Frankowski, S. Szymanski, Lewandowski, Urbanski; Subs: Bereszynski, Bulka, Grosicki, Piątek, Piotrowski, Puchacz, Romanczuk, Salamon, Skoras, Szymanski, Walukiewicz, Swiderski, Buksa, Slisz
The big news for Poland (and anyone who loves great strikers of the 2000s) is that Robert Lewandowski comes into the starting XI. The all-time great only made it onto the pitch on the hour mark in the defeat to Austria after having missed the opening defeat to the Netherland with injury.
