France is facing a make-or-break showdown at home to Ukraine on Thursday, where a home win would send Kylian Mbappe & Co through to the 2026 World Cup. Didier Deschamps’ side is currently three points ahead in UEFA qualifying Group D with two games to play, and a win in Paris this week would guarantee Les Bleus cannot be budged before the campaign is done.
Ukraine is also at a crucial crossroads and can’t settle for anything other than victory if it hopes to secure automatic qualification to next year’s tournament. Not only that, but third-place Iceland could leapfrog the Blue and Yellow into the runner-up spot should Ukraine falter at the Parc des Princes.
Deschamps has assembled his latest squad without the mercurial talents of PSG duo Ousmane Dembele and Desire Doue, each of whom is currently sidelined through injury. Oleksandr Zinchenko is the big name missing from Serhiy Rebrov’s selection after picking up a groin injury at Nottingham Forest.
