Germany vs. France: Mbappé Benched for Some Rest?

Here’s the probable lineup for the French national team in the upcoming friendly match against Germany on Tuesday (9:00 PM).

The French team is heading into the match against Germany in a somewhat difficult position, especially with the recent sacking of their manager, Flick. For this friendly match, Didier Deschamps is considering several changes compared to the previous match against Ireland (2-0).

Due to Olivier Giroud’s injury, Kolo Muani could start upfront. According to RMC Sport, « Kylian Mbappé might begin the game on the bench. The captain of the French national team is facing a busy September schedule. This morning, the coaching staff was contemplating whether it might be better to leave the team captain on the bench, at least to start the match. » Upamecano could also be benched.

The possible lineup for France against Germany: Maignan – Pavard, Konaté, Saliba, T. Hernandez – Camavinga, Griezmann, Tchouaméni – Coman, Kolo Muani, Dembélé or Thuram.
