Could Henderson man mark Mbappe with Walker mopping up, or would that be a waste of time and weaken us elsewhere?
I'm not sure Henderson has the pace needed to keep with Mbappe for the whole game. I think we'll have more luck trying to make France react to our game rather than being reactive to theirs.
Henderson will also be needed to do a job on Griezman. Bellingham has to be the one with license to get forward.
Which France players who are injured would have made their XI today, do we reckon? And are England at full strength?
Pogba and / or Kante in midfield
Benzema surely would have started ahead of Giroud
Yes - Reckon England are at full strength, reckon Reece James and Ben Chilwell are the two missing from the whole squad, but dont think either would be necessarily starting today

Dembele, Griezmann and Giroud are all top players as well. We need a strong team performance to go through.

Only change I can imagine would be if James were fit….. would he have been playing?
On goes the volume and national anthems.
