Didier Deschamps sticks with a largely unchanged France side to face Paraguay in the World Cup last 16 in Philadelphia at 23:00 on Saturday.

According to L'Équipe, the only change from the 3-0 win over Sweden on Monday is Aurélien Tchouaméni’s absence with a thigh problem. AS Roma’s Manu Koné starts in a double pivot with Adrien Rabiot.
