The expectation is that William Saliba will start on Monday night as France embarks on their Euro 2024 campaign on the road against Austria, replacing Liverpool’s Ibrahima Konaté. 

Arsenal’s centre back Didier Deschamps has frequently disregarded Saliba, but he will now have an opportunity to make an impression. He will play at the centre of Les Bleus’ defence with Dayot Upamecano of Bayern Munich. Adrien Rabiot is anticipated to make his debut following his recuperation from his muscle tiredness problem. If he isn’t considered healthy enough, Youssouf Fofana of AS Monaco will take his position at the start of the match.

аurélien Tchоuаméni is оne plаyer whо is unquestiоnаbly оut. He wоn’t be put in Ԁаnger аgаinst аustriа Ԁespite finishing а cоmplete trаining sessiоn оn SаturԀаy, but there is hоpe thаt he will be well enоugh tо plаy аgаinst the NetherlаnԀs lаter in the week.

Concerns have also been raised about Kylian Mbappé’s fitness. Prior to the game, the captain of France acknowledged as much. His spot in the starting lineup, though, seems assured.

Mike Maignan; Kylian Mbappé, Marcus Thuram, Ousmane Dembélé; Adrien Rabiot, N’Golo Kanté, Antoine Griezmann; Théo Hernandez, Dayot Upamecano, William Saliba, Jules Koundé.
