France manager Didier Deschamps has a full squad at his disposal and is expected to recall Antoine Griezmann to his starting line-up, with either Adrian Rabiot or Bradley Barcola likely to make way. Ousmane Dembele could also miss out after failing to impress in the group stages and should he drop to the bench, Inter Milan striker Marcus Thuram is likely to get the nod.
Axel Witsel and Thomas Meunier are both injury concerns for Belgium, whose winger Dodi Lukebakio is available for selection after missing out on his side’s unimpressive stalemate with Ukraine through suspension. He or Yannick Carrasco may come in for Leandro Trossard, who contributed very little to the national cause in that stalemate. Kevin De Bruyne aside, few of Belgium’s players impressed in that game so it would be no great surprise to see a few changes.

The Dusseldorf Arena is the venue for today’s match between France and Belgium, two heavyweights who have yet to play anywhere near their best in these Euros. Both nations failed to win their groups and had to settle for second place. Now only one can progress to the quarter-finals, with France the odds-on favourites who are far from racing certainties. Kick-off in western Germany is at 5pm but stay tuned in the meantime for team news and build-up.
