France look set to operate a wing-back system in their last-16 clash with Switzerland in Bucharest.

With Lucas Digne (€6.0m) out injured and Lucas Hernandez (€6.5m) only fit enough for the bench, Didier Deschamps has drafted in Clement Lenglet (€5.5m) to anchor a back three alongside Presnel Kimpembe (€5.6m) and Raphael Varane (€6.1m).

Adrien Rabiot (€6.5m) and Benjamin Pavard (€6.0m) are set to take up the wing-back roles, flanking a midfield of N’Golo Kanté (€5.5m) and Paul Pogba (€8.6m).

Antoine Griezmann (€11.2m) will operate in the pocket behind Kylian Mbappé (€12.0m) and Karim Benzema (€10.1m).

Switzerland head coach Vladimir Petkovic names the same XI that beat Turkey 3-1 in Matchday 3, where Xherdan Shaqiri (€7.4m) scored twice.

France XI (3-4-1-2): Lloris; Kimpembe, Lenglet, Varane; Rabiot, Kanté, Pogba Pavard; Griezmann; Mbappé, Benzema.

Switzerland XI (3-4-1-2): Sommer; Rodrgiuez, Akanji, Elvedi; Zuber, Xhaka, Freuler, Widmer; Shaqiri; Embolo, Seferovic.

  That's what happens when you play a formation and style that don't really suit the players you have.

    Yeah. No fluidity, all disjointed.
    Deschamps not doing a good job it seems.
    They got time to figure it out or at least for someone to do something magical. Pogba is trying that at least.

  Probably should have done that before the match started as well. Played the same formation and style of play as group stages.

  He's the type of footballer who always seems a tackle away from a red. Very volatile character.

2 random questions
1) Are teams obliged/forced to announce their lineup before the kick off?
2) is there anything that would prevent them from changing players beside injuries during warm-up? (In case a manager wants to act smart)

Embolo is Swiss' equivalent of Mbappe and is definitely more effective right now.

Mbappe is good, but also not as good as made out to be. Doesn't quite have the footballing brain to be labelled as "world class" imo.
