He omitted Eduardo Camavinga after a difficult, injury-hit season at Real Madrid. The decision shocked many, given Camavinga&#8217;s role in the 2022 squad. France&#8217;s starting XI still looks formidably strong ahead of their opener against Senegal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mike Maignan takes the first-choice goalkeeping spot, ahead of Robin Risser and Brice Samba. Jules Kound\u00e9 starts at right-back, with Theo Hern\u00e1ndez on the left. William Saliba and Dayot Upamecano will anchor the central defence. Saliba shook off a minor back issue to start France&#8217;s 3-1 win over Northern Ireland. He will partner Upamecano again. Aur\u00e9lien Tchouam\u00e9ni and Adrien Rabiot will start in the double pivot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 looks set to lead the line despite managing a thigh injury in the closing weeks of the La Liga season. He enters the tournament with 56 international goals \u2014 only Olivier Giroud has scored more for France. Michael Olise provides a great option on the right, fresh off his incredible season with Bayern Munich. Desire Doue takes his spot on the left flank after his hat-trick against Northern Ireland. Ousmane Dembele will play through the middle as the No.10.<\/p>\n\n\n<hr \/>\r\n<h2><strong>Bet \u00a310 &amp; Get \u00a330 in Free Bets with Bet365<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<p>Not signed up to bet365 yet?

The Lions of Teranga carry extraordinary attacking depth across every position. Senegal&#8217;s starting XI looks highly competitive ahead of their opener against France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00c9douard Mendy takes the first-choice goalkeeping spot, ahead of Yehvann Diouf and Mory Diaw. Antoine Mendy starts at right-back, with Ismail Jakobs on the left. Kalidou Koulibaly and Moussa Niakhat\u00e9 will anchor the central defence. Koulibaly brings vast experience from his time at Chelsea and Napoli. He will marshal the backline against one of the world&#8217;s most dangerous attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pape Matar Sarr, Lamine Camara and Pape Gueye will start in a three-man midfield. Sarr has established himself as one of Tottenham&#8217;s most important players this season. Nicolas Jackson leads the line after a superb loan spell at Bayern Munich. Sadio Man\u00e9 provides a great option on the left, still capable of match-winning moments at the highest level. Isma\u00efla Sarr takes his spot on the right flank. Senegal beat France 1-0 at the 2002 World Cup \u2014 and Thiaw will demand his side write another chapter of that story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-france-vs-senegal-predicted-lineups\">France vs Senegal predicted lineups<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>France (4-2-3-1): <\/strong>Maignan; Kounde, Saliba, Upamecano, Hernandez; Tchouameni, Rabiot; Olise, Dembele, Doue; Mbappe<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Senegal (4-3-3): <\/strong>E.
