France coach Didier Deschamps has made one change to the team that defeated Sweden 3-0 in the previous round of the World Cup. Manu Kone will start in midfield, replacing the injured Aurelien Tchouameni for the upcoming last-16 clash against Paraguay on Saturday.

Tchouameni was ruled out with a thigh injury, as reported by French sports daily L'Equipe on Friday. Kone is set to partner with Adrien Rabiot behind France's four-pronged attack.

The confirmed lineups for the match are as follows:

France: Mike Maignan; Jules Kounde, Dayot Upamecano, William Saliba, Lucas Digne; Manu Kone, Adrien Rabiot; Ousmane Dembele, Michael Olise, Bradley Barcola; Kylian Mbappe (captain).

Paraguay: Orlando Gill; Juan Jose Caceres, Gustavo Gomez (captain), Gustavo Velazquez, Omar Alderete, Junior Alonso; Miguel Almiron, Diego Gomez, Andres Cubas, Matias Galarza; Julio Enciso.

This adjustment comes as France aims to maintain their strong performance in the tournament.
