While he faces increased competition, Olivier Giroud could still leave the forefront of the Blues’ attack on Friday evening in the Netherlands. Randal Kolo Muani should start.

This is one of the big uncertainties in the French team currently. Who is the starting striker in Didier Deschamps’ eyes? Here is a new indication with the probable composition of the Blues for the match in the Netherlands on Friday evening. After the tactical implementation of this Thursday evening, L’Equipe and RMC plan the same starting eleven.

Ahead of Mike Maignan, Didier Deschamps must deal with the absences in defense and should line up Jonathan Clauss and Ibrahima Konaté alongside the Hernandez brothers. In the middle, we will find the now usual trio formed by Antoine Griezmann, Aurélien Tchouamenie and Adrien Rabiot.

And in front, then? Who with the indestructible Kylian Mbappé? On the right, where the fight rages between Kingsley Coman and Ousmane Dembélé, it is the Bavarian who should be preferred to the Parisian, the latter being slightly injured in the thigh according to RMC. At the forefront, we have known since the World Cup that Olivier Giroud has to deal with competition from Randal Kolo Muani and Marcus Thuram, and the trend is confirmed, since the coach should therefore leave the Milanese on the bench in Amsterdam. It is Kolo Muani who should be lined up in the No. 9 position, as in Germany in September.

The probable composition of the Blues: Maignan – Clauss, Konaté, L. Hernandez, T. Hernandez – Griezmann, Tchouaméni, Rabiot – Coman, Kolo Muani, Mbappé.
