According to L’Équipe, ahead of the quarter-final clash between France and Portugal, Deschamps is likely to deploy Camavinga in place of the suspended Rabiot. Upfront, the attack is likely to remain the same, with Thuram leading the line and Mbappé and Griezmann flanking him on the left and right respectively.
In the round of 16, Rabiot picked up a yellow card, meaning he will miss the France-Portugal showdown due to accumulation. Deschamps is faced with the choice of either pushing Griezmann back into midfield or finding another player to fill the void left by the Juventus midfielder. L’Équipe suggests that, while it hasn’t been explicitly stated, a trend has emerged. It is highly probable that Deschamps will field Camavinga in the quarter-finals, despite the fact that he has yet to cement a starting spot in the national team. However, nobody doubts his capabilities.
On the other hand, despite only managing to defeat Belgium thanks to an own goal, Deschamps has expressed satisfaction with the results of the tactical adjustments made during that game. This means that Deschamps is likely to maintain the 4-3-3 formation in the upcoming clash against Portugal, with Thuram as the lone striker, Mbappé on the left, and Griezmann continuing his false-nine role on the right.
