France vs. Denmark lineups
France’s fearsome list of injuries has become a story in itself, with the likes of Ballon d’Or winner Karim Benzema and influential midfielder Paul Pogba forced out of the tournament.
Left-back Lucas Hernandez became the latest victim when he suffered an ACL rupture while trying to stop Australia from scoring. His brother, Theo, could replace him.

Thomas Delaney sustained a hamstring injury before being replaced by Mikkel Damsgaard during the first half of Denmark’s game against Tunisia.
The Sevilla midfielder was later ruled out of the tournament and will undergo a four-week rehabilitation period.

France vs. Denmark odds
The reigning champions are odds-on to gain revenge against opponents who beat them twice in the UEFA Nations League this year.
Denmark are being tipped by some to go far at the finals and are likely to provide France’s toughest test of the group stage, with the Tunisia stalemate representing only the third game in their most recent 21 in which they have not scored.
