Michael Olise, following his impressive Olympic performance that secured France a silver medal, was given a starting place on Friday and will have to compete with Ousmane Dembele for his spot.
Didier Deschamps also called up Bradley Barcola, who performed well against Italy, but maintained his faith in the majority of the squad from Euro 2024; Adrien Rabiot and Benjamin Pavard were left out.
After conceding three goals, Jules Kounde and Dayot Upamecano could be included in the starting lineup, while Marcus Thuram and Randal Kolo Muani are backup attacking options.
Belgium will be without goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois due to a conflict with Domenico Tedesco, and top scorer Romelu Lukaku, currently playing for Napoli, will also be absent. Veteran defender Jan Vertonghen has retired, and Leandro Trossard was not called up. Tedesco has selected young players such as Maxim De Cuyper, Arne Engels, and Julien Duranville. While Lukaku is unavailable, Kevin De Bruyne and Jeremy Doku will continue to support lone striker Lois Openda.

Latest football match prediction: France vs Belgium
Despite a quick start with a goal from Bradley Barcola, the 1-3 defeat to Italy reflected a worrying lack of consistency in Didier Deschamps' squad.
Having conceded three goals in the final minutes of the match, France not only lost points but also faced immense pressure to restore their image ahead of the next game. Coach Deschamps, who led France to victory in both the World Cup and the Nations League, now faces a major challenge in restoring team morale and improving their performance.
France cannot afford to drop any more points in the upcoming matches, especially considering UEFA's new format where the bottom team is relegated. This places a high demand on Deschamps to adjust his tactics and lineup accordingly, as the team is still searching for the optimal combination of young and veteran players. The absence of key players like Kylian Mbappe, who is capable of making a difference, and the uncertain tactical decisions in the match against Italy are raising concerns about the team's capabilities.
Belgium, conversely, had a strong start under Domenico Tedesco, with Kevin De Bruyne shining with two goals against Hungary. The addition of young players and the absence of some big names like Thibaut Courtois and Romelu Lukaku did not diminish the team's effectiveness.
Belgium is currently aiming not only to maintain its leading position but also to improve upon its recent performance in various tournaments. While Belgium is in good form and has gained confidence from its victory against Hungary, it also needs to continue improving its defense to prepare for upcoming challenges, especially when facing France – a team with a strong history of rivalry and eager for revenge.
