France manager Didier Deschamps has a full squad at his disposal and is expected to recall Antoine Griezmann to his starting line-up, with either Adrian Rabiot or Bradley Barcola likely to make way. Ousmane Dembele could also miss out after failing to impress in the group stages and should he drop to the bench, Inter Milan striker Marcus Thuram is likely to get the nod.

Axel Witsel and Thomas Meunier are both injury concerns for Belgium, whose winger Dodi Lukebakio is available for selection after missing out on his side’s unimpressive stalemate with Ukraine through suspension. He or Yannick Carrasco may come in for Leandro Trossard, who contributed very little to the national cause in that stalemate. Kevin De Bruyne aside, few of Belgium’s players impressed in that game so it would be no great surprise to see a few changes.

The Dusseldorf Arena is the venue for today’s match between France and Belgium, two heavyweights who have yet to play anywhere near their best in these Euros. Both nations failed to win their groups and had to settle for second place. Now only one can progress to the quarter-finals, with France the odds-on favourites who are far from racing certainties. Kick-off in western Germany is at 5pm but stay tuned in the meantime for team news and build-up.

Important Events
France: Kylian Mbappe excels at attacking down the wing, but this could leave his team unbalanced against Belgium, writes Jonathan Wilson.
These teams: As expected, Antoine Griezmann will return to the France squad, with Marcus Thuram starting in place of Ousmane Dembele.
Belgium coach Domenico Tadesco made two changes, bringing on Reus Openda and Yannick Carrasco, while Leandro Trossard and Youri Tielemans were replaced.

Latest team news
France coach Didier Deschamps will be able to field a full squad and is likely to recall Antoine Griezmann to the starting XI, with Adrien Rabiot or Bradley Barkoula likely to be substituted in. Ousmane Dembele may also miss out on the squad after a lack of notable performances in the group stage, with Inter Milan striker Marcus Thuram likely to be used if he drops to the bench.
Axel Witsel and Thomas Meunier are both injury concerns for Belgium, but winger Dodi Lukebakio is available after missing the draw with Ukraine due to suspension. He or Yannick Carrasco could potentially replace Leandro Trossard, who contributed little to his national team in the draw. Apart from Kevin de Bruyne, few Belgian players impressed in the game, so it wouldn’t be too surprising to see some changes.
Round of 16: France vs Belgium
The Dusseldorf Arena is the venue for today’s match between France and Belgium. These two powerhouses have not yet played their best at these Euros, as both failed to win their groups and had to settle for second place. This means that only one team can make it to the quarter-finals, with France being the favourites but far from a sure thing. Kick-off in the west of Germany is at 5pm, but in the meantime, keep an eye on team news and preparations.
