France's head coach Laurent Bonadei has made a controversial choice by excluding experienced defender Wendie Renard and record goalscorer Eugenie Le Sommer from his 23-player squad.

Maelle Lakrar is expected to partner with Griedge Mbock in central defense, while Elisa De Almeida and Selma Bacha are likely to play as the full-backs.

At the front, Marie-Antoinette Katoto is set to join Kadidiatou Diani and Sandy Baltimore in a dynamic attacking trio.

For England, Mary Earps and Fran Kirby have retired from international football, and Millie Bright has withdrawn, stating she cannot commit fully mentally or physically.

Lauren James, back from a three-month injury, appeared as a substitute in England's strong win against Jamaica and is unlikely to start in the upcoming opener.

Sarina Wiegman may retain the same lineup from the Jamaica game, featuring a back four of Lucy Bronze, Leah Williamson, Alex Greenwood, and Jess Carter.

After scoring in England's last two matches, Alessia Russo aims to build on her strong form while leading the attack against France.

Possible starting lineup for France Women:

Peyraud-Magnin; De Almeida, Mbock, Lakrar, Bacha; Geyoro, Jean-Francois, Karchaoui; Diani, Baltimore, Katoto

Possible starting lineup for England Women:

Hampton; Bronze, Williamson, Greenwood, Carter; Stanway, Walsh; Mead, Toone, Hemp; Russo
