France vs Australia: Starting XIs for World Cup clash confirmed | Full lists

2022 World Cup Qatar

Australia start Middlesbrough midfielder Riley McGree and Stoke defender John Souttar in their starting line-up.

There is no Martin Boyle due to injury so Craig Goodwin, Mathew Leckie and Mitchell Duke lead the line in attack.

In defence are Scottish-based trio Nathaniel Atkinson, Kye Rowles and Aziz Behich, while Celtic midfielder Aaron Mooy lines up in midfield.

Former Brighton and Arsenal goalkeeper Mat Ryan captains the side.

The surprising news for France is that Ibrahima Konate starts at centre-back ahead of Arsenal’s William Saliba.

Liverpool defender Konate was a surprise call-up by Didier Deschamps and goes straight into the starting XI and partners Dayot Upamecano at the back.

There’s a start for 36-year-old Olivier Giroud in attack after Karim Benzema had to withdraw from the squad due to injury.

Ousmane Dembele starts alongside Giroud in an attacking front four which contains Kylian Mbappe and Antoine Griezmann.

France team to play Australia: Lloris; Pavard, Upamecano, Konaté, Lucas Hernandez; Rabiot, Tchouaméni; Mbappé, Griezmann, Dembélé; Giroud.

Australia team to play France: Ryan; Behich, Rowels, Souttar, Atkinson; Irvine, Mooy, McGree; Goodwin, Duke, Leckie.
