The coach of the Blues Didier Deschamps renewed his eleven-type to face Hungary on Saturday (3 p.m.), with the exception of Lucas Hernandez, replaced by Lucas Digne in Budapest, the only change from the 1-0 victory on Tuesday against the Germany to Euro.
The left-back of Bayern Munich, diminished during the preparation by a blow to the knee but who played the whole game against the Germans, gives way to the Everton player for this second meeting of group F, where a victory of the champions of the world would qualify them for the knockout stages.
Benjamin Pavard, victim of a shock to the head against the Mannschaft, is established on the right of the central hinge composed of Presnel Kimpembe and Raphaël Varane, in front of the captain and goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, who joins, with 13 matches at the Euro, the total of his coach Didier Deschamps.
The Blues' fire attack is also aligned with Karim Benzema, Kylian Mbappé and Antoine Griezmann.
In the middle, Paul Pogba, N'Golo Kanté and Adrien Rabiot will animate the game, in the Puskas-Arena where some 60,000 spectators, including 5,700 French, are expected, under scorching temperatures.
Kingsley Coman, back after witnessing the birth of his child, is left off the scoresheet, like Kurt Zouma and Wissam Ben Yedder.
Deschamps thus turned the absent ones, because three other players had watched the match from the stands against Germany (Léo Dubois, Moussa Sissoko, Marcus Thuram).
