France have restored Antoine Griezmann and Marcus Thuram to their starting line-up for Monday’s Euro 2024 round of 16 clash against neighbours Belgium, with Thuram to partner Kylian Mbappe in attack and Griezmann to play just behind the front two.
Both had been dropped for the last group match against Poland in a surprise move but come back into the team in place of Ousmane Dembele and Bradley Barcola.
Belgium also made two changes after drawing their last game with Ukraine, and finishing second in their group.
Yannick Carrasco and Lois Openda were included in a more attacking-looking line-up with Youri Tielemans and Leandro Trossard dropping to the bench.
Teams:
France: Mike Maignan; Jules Kounde, William Saliba, Dayot Upamecano, Theo Hernandez; Aurelien Tchouameni, N’Golo Kante, Adrien Rabiot; Antoine Griezmann, Marcus Thuram, Kylian Mbappe (c)
Belgium: Koen Casteels; Timothy Castagne, Jan Vertonghen, Wout Faes, Arthur Theate; Amadou Onana, Kevin De Bruyne (c), Yannick Carrasco, Jeremy Doku; Lois Openda, Romelu Lukaku.
