France predicted XI v Brazil: Didier Deschamps to start four forwards | OneFootball

In the last international break before the FIFA World Cup, France face Brazil in the US on Thursday night. Didier Deschamps is expected to name an attacking line-up for the encounter. 

Bradley Barcola is currently well placed to start on the left wing during the World Cup, but the Paris Saint-Germain forward has been ruled out of this international break with injury. Against Brazil, it is Désiré Doué who is expected to start on the left for France. Captain Kylian Mbappé will remain in a central role, meaning that Ousmane Dembélé will likely be forced out onto the right wing, as he often is when he links up with Les Bleus. 

There will be space for one more forward within the side, with Michael Olise expected to start in a No.10 role.
