  • England manager Thomas Tuchel has made significant changes to his starting team, bringing in six new starters - Henderson, Quansah, Eze, Rashford, Saka, Konsa and Toney.

  • France’s starting lineup includes Maignan, Gusto, Konate, Lacroix, Hernandez, Zaire-Emery, Rabiot, Olise, Cherki, Doue and Mbappe.
