Austria vs France Team News, Injury Update

Austria's Stefan Posch was struggling with a knee injury but he is likely to start as right-back. Konrad Laimer and Marcel Sabitzer will be the force for the Austrians in the attack while RB Leipzig's Nicolas Seiwald will have a key role in midfield. Ralf Rangnick is likely to play a 4-2-3-1 formation with Michael Gregoritsch as the sole striker.

Didier Deschamps is set to play William Saliba as the central defender. The Arsenal centre-back was not high in the pecking order but it looks likely that he will be chosen to pair along with Dayot Upamecano. Kylian Mbappe is set to start on the wing as Marcus Thuram is to lead the line for Les Bleus. Aurelien Tchouameni is still recovering from a foot injury which means Adrien Rabiot and Eduardo Camavinga in contention to start in midfield.
