Spared at the start of the rally, the Real Madrid striker had only participated in his first collective training on Friday.

In Helsinki, he leaves his place to Moussa Diaby, the Leverkusen striker holder for the first time in the selection at 22 years old.

Theo Hernandez and Kingsley Coman, very prominent on Saturday on the sides, are replaced by Lucas Digne on the left and, on the right, by Léo Dubois who was preferred to Benjamin Pavard.

In midfield, Aurélien Tchouaméni (21) was established for the third time in his young international career, alongside Adrien Rabiot.

N'Golo Kanté is placed on the bench.

Kurt Zouma integrates the defense guided by goalkeeper and captain Hugo Lloris, replacing Lucas Hernandez.

West Ham central defender is associated with Jules Koundé and Dayot Upamecano.

For Finland, the squad includes goalkeeper and captain Lukas Hradecky, midfielder Glen Kamara and striker Teemu Pukki, who is making his 100th selection for the "Eagle Owls" on Tuesday.
