Team news
Tunisia boss Kadri should be counting on a fully-fit squad for the showdown with France, with second-choice goalkeeper Bechir Ben Said back on the bench on Saturday after recovering from discomfort. With victory needed here, Jalal Kadri may turn to old Premier League favourite Wahbi Khazri to spice things up in the attack.
As for France, Deschamps also has no fresh concerns to report from the win over Denmark, but many changes can be expected as the Bleus boss spares his first-choice crop for the knockout rounds.
Tunisia predicted lineup (3-4-2-1):
Dahmen; Bronn, Meriah, Talbi; Drager, Skhiri, Laidouni, Abdi; Sliti, Khazri; Jebali.
France predicted lineup (4-2-3-1):
Lloris; Pavard, Saliba, Upamecano, Hernandez; Guendouzi, Rabiot; Coman, Camavinga, Mbappe; Thuram.
