Despite his blunder against
Sweden last week, France and Tottenham
goalkeeper Hugo Lloris will still captain
France against England in Tuesday's Stade de France friendly. France are
sticking with Lloris, who was to blame for
the 2-1 defeat in Stockholm, his poor clearance having given Ola Toivonen the chance to score a
brilliant last-minute winner.
France manager Didier Deschamps said on the eve of the
match against England “He will play, definitely. Lloris will captain. Obviously,
I've discussed things with him. If he'd
seen things differently, I might have changed my decision, but we both thought
it was the best thing for him to do. It was clear. We want him to go back on
the pitch.”
Widespread changes are expected
elsewhere in Deschamps' starting XI, with Monaco's
rapidly rising star Kylian Mbappe in
contention for just a second international start. Deschamps guided France to
the European Championship final last year but results since then have been
inconsistent, and he has warned his players that places are now up for grabs
