The French national team is set to face Brazil this Thursday evening at 9 PM (French time) in Foxborough, south of Boston, for an international friendly as part of their preparation for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. This match marks the beginning of a short American tour, which will also include a clash against Colombia on Sunday. Head coach Didier Deschamps is expected to deploy an offensive strategy, featuring four attack-minded players.

Mike Maignan is anticipated to start in goal, likely earning his 38th cap for the national side. The probable defensive quartet includes Gusto, Upamecano, Konaté, and Théo Hernandez. In midfield, Aurélien Tchouaméni and Adrien Rabiot are expected to form the central pairing. The offensive line is likely to feature Ousmane Dembélé, Michael Olise, and Désiré Doué, supporting Kylian Mbappé, who will lead the attack.

Mbappé to Start with Limited Playing Time

Kylian Mbappé, captain of Les Bleus, is expected to start but will have limited playing time, approximately an hour, as confirmed by Didier Deschamps. The coach stated, "He can start, not play the whole match. He can come in, like the other 24 players. He is part of this consideration. Every player has a specific situation."

Probable France lineup against Brazil:

Maignan - Gusto, Upamecano, Konaté, T.Hernandez - Tchouaméni, Rabiot - Dembélé, Olise, Doué - Mbappé.
