Colombia vs France Team News

Didier Deschamps’ France side enters this match with momentum following a 2-1 victory over Brazil last Thursday. Reports suggest a heavy rotation of the starting eleven, with captain Kylian Mbappe likely to start on the bench to manage his fitness. This provides an opportunity for younger talents like Rayan Cherki and Warren Zaïre-Emery to stake their claims for the World Cup squad.

Colombia, led by Néstor Lorenzo, will aim to rebound from a narrow 2-1 defeat to Croatia. Key players such as Luis Diaz and James Rodriguez are expected to lead the attack. The South American side has a reputation for performing well in the United States and will look to test the depth of the French defence.
