Lucas Da Cunha, 25, has emerged as a distinctive midfield option for France, his game intelligence and ease across the pitch standing out.

According to L'Équipe, he is expected to start in the Bleus midfield in Belgium on Monday at 20:45.

In 2023, Da Cunha left as a young winger seeking minutes and certainty, and now France finds a more complete midfielder.

Zinédine Zidane has called him up in midfield in his first squad as France head coach. It is a natural choice given the former Rennes player's well-judged switch at Como under Cesc Fabregas.

He has been working with the squad at Clairefontaine in the build-up.
