France/Iraq – France line-up with Barcola confirmed | OneFootball

This Monday, the France national team will play its second matchday of the 2026 World Cup against Iraq at 11 p.m. at Lincoln Financial Field. A match involving 5 Paris Saint-Germain players, all French: Lucas Hernandez, Warren Zaïre-Emery, Désiré Doué, Bradley Barcola and Ousmane Dembélé. This Sunday, L’Equipe reports a likely lineup featuring Barcola and Dembélé.

Barcola – Olise -Dembélé

Rabiot – Koné

Digne – Saliba – Upamecano – Koundé

Maignan.

Doué would therefore be one of the “losers” compared to the match against Senegal, which is not unreasonable after a mixed performance on his part, while Barcola made an impressive impact off the bench. There is also the profile considered best suited to the opponent and the expected match. Changes can happen from one game to the next with such a deep squad. Obviously, there is also very fierce competition.

All the better, as it means Les Bleus are well equipped to go far. What remains is to find the best possible formula at each stage. Nothing simple about that. Besides, this lineup is not official, and changes are still possible.
