A possible rotation has been mentioned since the defeat against Spain, with a mix of lack of motivation among the usual starters, possible fatigue, and a desire to give minutes to those who have played little. Even if, in this context, it is not exactly much of a gift either. There are still some surprises, such as seeing Kylian Mbappé on the left. No other media outlet has put forward this option.

Nothing is certain yet, and everything remains open for the French staff. Decisions could be made through discussions with the players in order to understand their approach to this somewhat strange match. We will have to wait until the official announcement, around 1 hour and 30 minutes before kickoff, to be sure of coach Didier Deschamps’ decisions for his final match.
