France's Starting Line-Up Against Israel in Nations League
As the French national team prepares to face Israel in the Nations League, coach Didier Deschamps has announced a strong starting eleven. The match is set to take place at the Bozsic Arena in Budapest on Thursday at 8:45 p.m. The lineup features an attacking formation with four forwards, highlighting Deschamps' strategy to dominate the game from the outset.
Key Players to Watch: Nkunku and Kolo Muani
Christopher Nkunku and Randal Kolo Muani are expected to take center stage in the attack. Nkunku, who has faced challenges with injuries since joining Chelsea, is looking to make a significant impact after a long absence from the national team. Meanwhile, Kolo Muani, who has been gaining confidence under Deschamps, will lead the front line, especially in the absence of star players like Kylian Mbappé and Marcus Thuram.
Midfield and Defense Structure
In midfield, Aurélien Tchouaméni will captain the side, supported by Eduardo Camavinga. The defensive lineup features Ibrahima Konaté and William Saliba in central roles, flanked by Jules Koundé and Lucas Hernandez. This structure aims to provide a solid foundation as the team transitions into a new generational phase, moving on from the previous era of players like Antoine Griezmann.
The final formation for the match is expected to be: Maignan – Koundé, Konaté, Saliba, T. Hernandez – Tchouaméni (cap), Camavinga – Dembélé, Olise, Nkunku – Kolo Muani.
