All eyes will be on France to see how their injury-hit squad handles their 2022 FIFA World Cup opener against Australia.

Didier Deschamps will insist that dropping points against Australia is not an option as he aims to defend his title from four years ago and recover from the latest injury that ruled out star man Karim Benzema.

For the Socceroos, with games against Denmark and Tunisia to come, they will hope to find their footing against France to prepare them for two very winnable games on paper.

Full Time: it was ultimately a comfortable win for the holders, who responded powerfully to an early setback to open Group D in style.

France plays Denmark next Saturday, while Australia plays Tunisia.

90 + 4 mins: Australia continue here, although they are too out on their feet and Aaron Mooy goes into the book for a late tackle on Theo Hernandez.

There will be a seven-minute stoppage time.

88 min: The game is won for France, who are giving Jules Conde and Marcus Thuram a late run-out. Benjamin Pavard and Olivier Giroud are the players to leave.

5 min: First chance for Kylian Mbappe to stretch his legs, leaving Nathaniel Atkinson behind as if he wasn’t there. The French striker is finally crowded out when he bursts into the area, but it’s an early warning for Australia; They will not be able to drop Mbappe one after the other.

3 minutes to kickoff: The teams emerge from the tunnel to loud applause, and we’re ready to go. But first, the anthem.

France vs Australia lineup, team news

France is very weak. Starting midfielders N’Golo Kante and Paul Pogba have both been sidelined since the summer after struggling with long-term injuries.

Defender Presnel Kimpembe and attacker Christopher Nkunku were both sent home after being named in the squad and Benzema will miss the final with a thigh injury.

Goalkeeper Mike Mignon (calf) is out of the squad for Manchester United and Barcelona, ​​and defenders Rafael Varane and Jules Kaunde have missed parts of the season respectively.

France (4-2-3-1, right to left):

1. Loris (GK) – 2. Pavard, 24. Conate, 18. Upamecano, 21. L. Hernandez – 8. Chuameni, 14. Rabiot – 11. Dembele, 7. Griezmann, 10. Mbappe – 9. Giroud

For Australia, Graham Arnold’s squad is also under an injury cloud with several key players. Starting defensive duo Ky Rawls and Harry Soutar, as well as forward Azdin Hrustic, missed large chunks of the season.

Martin Boyle had to withdraw from the team due to a knee injury, he was replaced by Marco Tiliou. Either Craig Goodwin or Ever Mabil will be Boyle’s direct replacement in the starting side.

In a bold move to stop the reigning champions, Arnold is considering moving to a back three to counter France’s onslaught. This could see winger Goodwin deployed as a left wing-back, and Milos Degenek, Bailey Wright, or Thomas Deng drafted into the defensive three.

1. Ryan (GK) – 3. Atkinson, 19. Souter, 4. Rawls, 16. Behi – 13. Muy- 23. Goodwin, 14. McGree, 22. Irvine, 7. Leckie — 15. Duke
