Head coaches of France and Tunisia announced on Wednesday their eleven men players, who will start today's encounter in the World Cup.

Tunisia will have a tough encounter and a poor hope by clashing against title holders France in the third round of the World Cup's group stage.

The game will take place at 17:00 CTL.

Tunisia have just a points after kicking off their adventure in the tournament by playing out a 0-0 draw against Denmark.

They suffered a 0-1 defeat to Australia in the second round.

On the other hand, France managed to reach the last 16 after securing the victory in their first two encounters.

France’s back-up goalkeeper Alphonse Areola has a back issue and looks set to miss out here.

Rotation is obvious for France here, but Theo Hernandez could keep his place as the only left-back in the squad after his brother Lucas Hernandez‘s cruciate ligament injury forced him to depart the tournament.

But Deschamps may use Eduardo Camavinga out of position there to experiment and also give the AC Milan star a rest, given how important his lung-busting runs from deep could prove later in the tournament.

The line-ups are as follows:

France XI: Mandanda; Pavard, Konate, Varane, Camavinga; Guendouzi, Fofana; Coman, Griezmann, Mbappe; Thuram

Tunisia XI: Dahmen; Bronn, Talbi, Meriah; Kechrida, Skhiri, Laidouni, Abdi; Msakni, Sliti; Khazri
