On Wednesday, Theo Hernandez became the first opponent to score against Morocco, and he should overcome a knee injury to start on the left, with Jules Kounde continuing on the opposite side.
The five players that had illness concerns are: Kingsley Coman, Dayot Upamecano, Adrien Rabiot, Raphael Varane and Ibrahima Konate . However, all five players were fit enought to returned to the trainging session over the weekend.
Ousmane Dembele and Olivier Giroud are expected to keep their places in the final third alongside Kylian Mbappe, who is tied with Lionel Messi for the Golden Boot with five goals and could become the youngest player to score in more than one World Cup final.
