Let’s unpack those teams. Austria should line up in a 4-2-3-1, while France will adopt their normal 4-3-3, with Rabiot and Kante a more defensively-minded pair beside Antoine Griezmann, who rivals Kylian Mbappé as the most important player in Deschamps’ side.
Rabiot has evidently recovered from a knock, while Tchouameni is not 100% fit, although named on the substitutes bench. Interesting that it is Saudi-based Kanté that has been picked to replace Tchouameni for his first start in two years, beating Camavinga and Zaire-Emery to a starting berth. There was some debate as to whether Marcus Thuram could lose his place to Olivier Giroud, but it is the Internazionale man that edges out the veteran.
