Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how France could line up for Tuesday's Euro 2024 semi-final versus Spain.

Having ground their way to the Euro 2024 semi-finals, France will now vie with neighbours Spain for a place in Sunday's European Championship decider.

Les Bleus reached the final four thanks to a tense penalty shootout win over Portugal, in a game that saw inspirational skipper Kylian Mbappe withdrawn before the end of extra time.

Already hampered by a disjointed end to his time with Paris Saint-Germain, Mbappe has been a shadow of his former self since sustaining a nose injury against Austria, as wearing a protective mask has seemingly hindered him further.

Despite taking another blow to the face against Portugal, the Real Madrid striker is set to start up front once again, with Marcus Thuram, Randal Kolo Muani and Ousmane Dembele all hoping to feature in their captain's supporting cast.

As the teams prepare for a thrilling encounter,Betclic offers competitive odds on all the action, highlighting Kylian Mbappe as a favorite to score the first goal.

Also below his best this summer, Spain-based star Antoine Griezmann should still play a part in the final third, and a 17th European Championship appearance would take him past Lilian Thuram - dad of Marcus - as France's record-holder for games at the continental finals.

Unlike Spain coach Luis de la Fuente, who will have two key men suspended on Tuesday, France boss Didier Deschamps has no such concerns and can even welcome back Adrien Rabiot from a one-match ban.

Eduardo Camavinga may therefore make way, while Aurelien Tchouameni and N'Golo Kante appear to have made themselves untouchable starters in midfield.

A settled back four, helmed by Arsenal's William Saliba, is very unlikely to change, and Les Bleus' number one is certainly undisputed.

AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan made some important saves in the quarter-final and is very much in contention for UEFA's team of the tournament, though no 'Golden Glove' award currently exists at the Euros.

France possible starting lineup: Maignan; Kounde, Saliba, Upamecano, Hernandez; Kante, Tchouameni, Rabiot; Griezmann; Kolo Muani, Mbappe
