France will hope to jump a few places in their Nations League group when they face Israel in Budapest on Thursday night.
Israel have lost their two games so far against Belgium and Italy, with this match taking place in Hungary due to the nation’s involvement in conflict in the Middle East.
Les Bleus were torn apart in their first game of the Nations League by Italy despite taking a first-minute lead before recovering to beat Belgium in their second outing.
Didier Deschamps has a new-look France squad for the October international break. Kylian Mbappe wasn’t included despite recovering from injury sooner than expected, while Antoine Griezmann recently announced his retirement at national team level.
Ousmane Dembele could be the senior figure in attack, with Marcus Thuram expected to lead the line centrally. Dayot Upamecano has withdrawn from the squad with an injury, so Ibrahima Konate should partner William Saliba in defence.
France lineup vs Israel (4-3-3): Maignan; Kounde, Konate, Saliba, Hernandez; Zaire-Emery, Tchouameni, Camavinga; Dembele, Thuram, Barcola.
