France vs Iceland Confirmed Lineups: Umtiti gets first start of Euro 2016

France head coach Didier Deschamps has named the starting XI for his side’s Euro 2016  quarter-final clash against Iceland, and latest FC Barcelona signing Samuel Umtiti is all set to take his place as a centre-back.

Deschamps has been starting with Adil Rami throughout the Euro 2016 campaign but the Sevilla centre-back is suspended for this game, as he picked up a second booking of the tournament in France’s round of 16 clash against the Republic of Ireland.

Another surprising change that Deschamps has made, is in the middle of the park, where Moussa Sissoko replaces Leicester City star N’Golo Kante, who is also suspended.

Meanwhile, Iceland head coach Lars Lagerback has not made any changes to the XI that beat England 2-1 in the round of 16. Here are the confirmed lineup.
