Captain Hugo Lloris and Paul Pogba were left out of France’s World Cup clash against Denmark in Moscow as Didier Deschamps makes six changes for Tuesday’s final group game.
Steve Mandanda starts in goal for France, who are already guaranteed a place in the last 16, while Pogba and Blaise Matuidi are left out with the pair a yellow card away from suspension.
Presnel Kimpembe replaces Samuel Umtiti in central defence as Raphael Varane takes over the armband, while Djibril Sidibe comes in for Benjamin Pavard at right-back.
Denmark show three changes to the side that drew 1-1 with Australia, forward Yussuf Poulsen is suspended after collecting a booking in the first two games.
Martin Braithwaite and Andreas Cornelius come into the team as part of a three-man attack, while Mathias Jorgensen is selected ahead of Lasse Schone in midfield.
France need a point to clinch top spot in Group C, while Denmark would also advance as runners-up with a draw at the Luzhniki Stadium.
