Sports Mole looks at how France could line up in Tuesday's international friendly with South Africa.

France boss Didier Deschamps will shuffle his pack for Tuesday's international friendly with South Africa.

The Blues will enter the contest off the back of a 2-1 win over Ivory Coast on Saturday, with Olivier Giroud and Aurelien Tchouameni on the scoresheet in Marseille.

Raphael Varane picked up a foot problem in the early stages of the second half last time out and is unlikely to feature, so William Saliba could come in for a start in a back three.

Deschamps will want to have a good look at this squad on Tuesday, so Wissam Ben Yedder and Jonathan Clauss could come into the XI, while Lucas Digne is also pushing to be involved from the start.

Kylian Mbappe was surprisingly not involved against Ivory Coast, but the Paris Saint-Germain attacker is expected to be included in the starting side for this match.

Deschamps is also likely to take the opportunity to hand Alphonse Areola another cap between the sticks, with Hugo Lloris set to drop down to the bench.

Presnel Kimpembe, Moussa Diaby, Adrien Rabiot and Matteo Guendouzi should also all be involved at some stage of the match, as France bid to make it seven straight wins in all competitions, while Paul Pogba should be cleared to play after a foot problem.

France possible starting lineup: Areola; Kounde, Saliba, L Hernandez; Clauss, Tchouameni, Pogba, Digne; Griezmann; Mbappe, Ben Yedder
