Portugal defender Pepe has recovered from a thigh problem to start against host nation France in the Euro 2016 final.

Manager Fernando Santos has also opted to recall William Carvalho, who was suspended for the 2-0 semi-final victory over France.

Carvalho returns to the starting lineup at the expense of Danilo, with the Real Madrid star dropping to the bench.

Meanwhile, France coach Didier Deschamps has opted to stick with Moussa Sissoko, which means that Leicester City's N'Golo Kante is on the bench.

The tournament's top-scorer Antoine Griezmann continues in attack and is likely to play behind lone striker Olivier Giroud.

Portugal: Rui Patricio; Cedric, Fonte, Pepe, Guerreiro; Sanches, W Carvalho, Adrien Silva, Joao Mario; Ronaldo, Nani

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