Team News: France make two changes as Iceland keep faith for fifth consecutive game

By , Reporter
France replace the suspended Adil Rami and N'Golo Kante with Moussa Sissoko and Samuel Umtiti ahead of their Euro 2016 quarter-final clash against the unchanged Iceland.

France have made two changes ahead of Sunday night's Euro 2016 quarter-final clash against Iceland at the Stade de France.

Adil Rami and N'Golo Kante, who are suspended for the game, have been replaced with Moussa Sissoko and Samuel Umtiti.

The Icelanders, meanwhile, have kept faith with the same starting XI for their fifth game in a row as their astounding run in the competition continues.

Nine of Iceland's starters are one booking away from missing the semi-finals, while Les Blues duo Olivier Giroud and Laurent Koscielny are also at risk.

France: Lloris; Sagna, Umtiti, Koscielny, Evra; Pogba, Sissoko, Matuidi; Griezmann, Giroud, Payet

Iceland: Halldorsson; Saevarsson, R.Sigurdsson, Arnason, Skulason; Gudmundsson, G.Sigurdsson, Gunnarsson, Bjarnason; Sigthorsson, Bodvarsson
