France has already secured their place in the round of 16, which means Didier Deschamps could opt to heavily rotate his squad for the last group-stage match against Tunisia, giving some of his key players a rest. Deschamps has hinted that his star man could be rotated out of the team against Tunisia.

In his pre-match press conference, the France boss defended Kylian Mbappe and reiterated that Mbappe would not influence his decisions about the team.

“Kylian Mbappé has no ego! Obviously, it is important, it is decisive. But I can assure you that he has always been part of a collective framework with this ability, through what he does, to be brought to light.”

“He wants to play tomorrow, but not all of them can start the match, that’s normal. You can imagine lots of things, but I have a lot of factors to take into account. And my information is first hand, straight from the horse’s mouth.”
