Overview

• Mike Maignan will start and wear the armband in Reykjavik, marking his 23rd consecutive France appearance in Kylian Mbappé's absence.
• Didier Deschamps called Maignan a leader as the goalkeeper dismissed talk of being injury-prone and highlighted his heavy run of matches.
• Rotation is planned with Jules Koundé and Lucas Digne set to return at full-back and Manu Koné expected to start in midfield.
• Adrien Rabiot is a doubt with calf discomfort, with Eduardo Camavinga ready to step in if required.
• Kick-off is Monday at 20:45 CEST on TF1, with victory expected to create a strong cushion in Group D and could even clinch qualification if Ukraine drop points against Azerbaijan.
