France predicted XI v England: Didier Deschamps to rotate for last ever game as Les Bleus boss

France predicted XI v England: Didier Deschamps to rotate for last ever game as Les Bleus boss France face England tonight in Miami for the World Cup Bronze final. It will be Didier Deschamps’ last ever game as  Les Bleus  manager before passing up the baton to his former France and Juventus teammate, Zinédine Zidane. Deschamps made no mystery of how disappointed he and France players were to play the Bronze final and not Sunday’s final, but the France national team manager intends to finish his 14-year tenure with a win. Given there is little at stake against the Three Lions, Deschamps is expected to field a rotated team, to give fringe players the chance to play a World Cup. Injured Arsenal centre-back William Saliba won’t feature after throwing the towel against Spain in the semi-final . Maxence Lacroix and Ibrahima Konaté are expected to partner at the back with Dayot Upamecano given a breather. Kylian Mbappé is set to start. The Real Madrid centre-forward still has the chance to win the World Cup Golden Boot for the second time in a row. He’s level on goals scored with Argentina’s Lionel Messi. France likely line-up v England Mike Maignan; Théo Hernandez, Maxence Lacroix, Ibrahima Konaté, Malo Gusto; Adrien Rabiot, Warren Zaïre-Emery; Désiré Doué, Michael Olise, Rayan Cherki; Kylian Mbappé.
