France Make Four Changes Against Norway, Deschamps Absent
France Make Four Changes vs Norway, Deschamps Absent

France have made four changes to their starting lineup for the match against Norway, following their win over Iraq. Désiré Doué, Aurélien Tchouaméni, Théo Hernandez and Maxence Lacroix come into the side, replacing Bradley Barcola, Adrien Rabiot, Lucas Digne and William Saliba, who all drop to the bench.

Both Teams Already Qualified

Both France and Norway have already secured qualification for the knockout stages, so the changes appear to be aimed at finishing top of the group. France manager Didier Deschamps is absent from the touchline, having flown home to attend his mother’s funeral.

The reshuffled lineup suggests France are prioritizing the group win, while Norway coach Ståle Solbakken may field a stronger side. The match is set to kick off shortly.
