Before their 1-2 semi-final defeat by Argentina on Wednesday in Atlanta, England had been driven by Kane and Bellingham, who each recorded six goals and one assist at this World Cup.

In his reshaped side, Tuchel has notably chosen to start Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka, neither of whom has looked at their best during the tournament.

England XI to face France: Henderson - Quansah, Konsa, Guéhi, Spence - Rice, captain - Saka, Eze, Rogers, Rashford - Toney.
