England vs France team news
France lost Ballon d’Or winner Karim Benzema to a thigh injury before the tournament and Olivier Giroud will continue to spearhead their attack.
The former Arsenal and Chelsea striker became France’s all-time leading scorer with his 52nd international goal against Poland, surpassing the great Thierry Henry.
Kylian Mbappe missed training on Tuesday night but was fit to return 24 hours later as teammate Ibrahima Konate described his absence as “nothing worrying”.

Mbappé back in France preparations for England
Raheem Sterling missed England’s win over Senegal following a burglary at his home in Surrey. He returned to the UK to check on the welfare of his family, but has since flown back to Doha to rejoin the squad and be in contention for this quarter-final, though he will settle for a place on the bench.
Arsenal defender Ben White has left the England squad to return home for personal reasons. Declan Rice is set to be available having sat out Wednesday’s session due to illness, while Callum Wilson is also back involved.
England vs France prediction
France will be favourites and for plenty of reasons, the biggest being Kylian Mbappe. Then there’s the familiar face of Oliver Giroud and the busy Antoine Griezmann. But France can be got at, as Poland proved.
England have been guilty of slow starts in all four of their games so far, and you feel another could be catastrophic, but they have the quality to take the game to France and will surely target winning the midfield battle with Jude Bellingham.
France to win, 2-1 after extra time.
