Team News: France drop Paul Pogba, Antoine Griezmann for Group A meeting with Albania

France manager Didier Deschamps drops Paul Pogba and Antoine Griezmann for Kingsley Coman and Anthony Martial in their Euro 2016 Group A meeting against Albania.

France manager Didier Deschamps has dropped Paul Pogba and Antoine Griezmann in favour of Kingsley Coman and Anthony Martial in Wednesday's Euro 2016 Group A meeting against Albania.

They are the only two changes within Les Bleus' starting XI, with Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Hugo Lloris captaining the side and Arsenal's Olivier Giroud leading the attack.

The host nation will be assured of qualification should they beat Albania, putting them on six points in the group.

Gianni De Biasi's side, meanwhile, sees three changes to the side that lost to Switzerland, with captain Lorik Cana suspended and Taulant Xhaka and Odise Roshi being overlooked.

Arlind Arjeti has been named in the defensive back line in Cana's place, while Andi Lila and Ledian Memushaj have also come into the team.

France: Lloris, Sagna, Rami, Koscielny, Evra, Kante, Matuidi, Coman, Payet, Martial, Giroud

Albania: Berisha, Lila, Lenjani, Hysaj, Agolli, Memushaj, Sadiku, Kukeli, Mavraj, Arlind Ajeti, Abrashi
