France coach Didier Deschamps made three changes in his starting 11 as Les Blues take on Switzerland for Monday’s Euro 2020 last-16 game in Bucharest as he switches to a backline of three defenders.

Barcelona defender Clement Lenglet makes his first appearance of the tournament and will line up alongside Real Madrid’s Raphael Varane and PSG defender Presnel Kimpembe in a 3-4-1-2 formation.

Adrien Rabiot returns to the side at left wing-back, chosen ahead of Lucas Hernandez who has been dealing with a knee problem.

Benjamin Pavard is also recalled on the right flank, with Jules Kounde unavailable, while midfielder Corentin Tolisso misses the game as well.

Switzerland coach Vladimir Petkovic has made no changes to the team that beat Turkey 3-1 in their final group game.

Xherdan Shaqiri, who scored twice against the Crescent Stars of Turkey, starts behind the front two of Breel Embolo and Haris Seferovic.

The Swiss have not won a knockout tie at a major tournament since the 1930s but have lost just once to France in five meetings in tournaments.
