Blue: Hernandez on the bench, Digne and Giroud holders in Iceland

Reykjavik (AFP)

Lucas Hernandez, whose physical condition has been the soap opera of the week in the Blues, is on the bench in Reykjavik to face Iceland Friday in qualifying for Euro-2020, replaced by Lucas Digne.

The Bayern Munich defender, who has been knee-deep for a few weeks but is reassuring in recent days, was not sent into the left flank of Didier Deschamps' defense, who also reiterated his confidence in the attack. Olivier Giroud, lack of playing time in Chelsea.
