Team News: France shuffle pack as Republic of Ireland remain unchanged in last-16 clash

By Giuseppe Labellarte, Reporter | 26 June 2016

France make four changes to their starting XI as they take on an unchanged Republic of Ireland in their Euro 2016 last-16 clash in Lyon.

France manager Didier Deschamps has made four changes to his side as the Euro 2016 hosts take on an unchanged Republic of Ireland in their last-16 clash.

Dimitri Payet, Blaise Matuidi, N'Golo Kante and Olivier Giroud all return to the Les Bleus starting XI as they look to reach the quarter-finals in Lyon.

After starting in their goalless draw against Switzerland, Yohan Cabaye, Andre-Pierre Gignac, Moussa Sissoko and Kingsley Coman miss out.

Martin O'Neill's side, meanwhile, are unchanged from their 1-0 win over Italy, with Wes Hoolahan on the bench again and potentially playing a part later on in the game.

France: Lloris, Sagna, Rami, Koscielny, Evra, Pogba, Kante, Matuidi, Griezmann, Payet, Giroud

Republic of Ireland: Randoph, Coleman, Keogh, Duffy, Ward, McCarthy, Hendrick, Brady, McClean, Long, Murphy
