Tunisia vs France lineups: No Mbappe - Starting XIs, confirmed team news, injury latest for World Cup today

Jonathan Gorrie30 November 2022

Didier Deschamps has made several changes to his starting line-up for France‘s game Tunisia at the World Cup today - including resting Kylian Mbappe.

Just a point for the world champions would see them guaranteed to win Group D and even then a defeat requires an almighty swing in the goal difference between them and Australia, who need to beat Denmark for that to come into play.

As such, Les Bleus are in a very strong position, so can afford to rotate, something that could prove helpful amid their seemingly constant barrage of injury problems.

Eduardo Camavinga will be tested out in a left-back role to give Theo Hernandez a rest, as he’s the only specialsied option in the squad.

Mbappe is on the bench with young forward Randal Kolo Muani picked to start.

Matteo Guendouzi, Kingsley Coman and Youssouf Fofana all feature in the XI.

For Tunisia, Wahbi Khazri gets his first start of the tournament in this must-win game.

Tunisia XI: Dahmen; Kechrida, Talbi, Meriah, Ghandri, Maaloul; Skhiri, Laidouni, Ben Romdhane, Ben Slimane; Khazri.

France XI: Mandanda; Disasi, Varane, Konate, Camavinga; Fofana, Tchouameni, Veretout, Guendouzi; Coman, Kolo Muani.
