Dayot Upamecano and Adrien Rabiot have both overcome illness to return to the France starting XI for the World Cup 2022 final with Argentina at the Lusail Iconic Stadium.

The pair were absent from Les Bleus' semi-final success over Morocco due to illness, which also impacted Raphael Varane, Ibrahima Konate and Kingsley Coman this week.

However, Upamecano, Rabiot and Varane are all fit to start for the world champions, as the former comes in for Konate despite the Liverpool man's strong semi-final performance.

Youssouf Fofana drops out of the engine room to allow Rabiot to return alongside Aurelien Tchouameni, and the rest of the France team is as expected for the showpiece match.

Theo Hernandez has overcome a blow to the knee to start at left-back, as Hugo Lloris and Jules Kounde complete the backline - Konate is fit enough to make the bench.

Olivier Giroud, Ousmane Dembele and Antoine Griezmann all line up in the attack alongside Kylian Mbappe, who sits level with Lionel Messi at the top of the Golden Boot charts with five strikes.

France starting lineup: Lloris; Kounde, Varane, Upamecano, T. Hernandez; Tchouameni, Rabiot; Dembele, Griezmann, Mbappe; Giroud

Subs: Areola, Mandanda, Pavard, Saliba, Disasi, Konate, Guendouzi, Fofana, Veretout, Camavinga, Coman, Thuram, Kolo Muani body check tags ::
