Team News: Olivier Giroud partners Antoine Griezmann in attack for France

Giroud partners Griezmann in attack

Didier Deschamps has opted for Olivier Giroud and Atletico Madrid's Antoine Griezmann in attack as he names an experienced side for France's friendly international with Belgium at the Stade de France.

Yohan Cabaye and Newcastle United's Moussa Sissoko also start for the hosts in midfield, while Hugo Lloris captains Les Bleus.

The only uncapped member of the France squad, Paul-Georges Ntep, is on the substitutes bench for Deschamps men.

Belgium boss Marc Wilmots has opted for an attacking lineup as Christian Benteke is likely to be supported by Marouane Fellaini, Dries Mertens and skipper Eden Hazard.

Jason Denayer, who spent last season on loan at Celtic, makes his first start for the visitors.

France: Lloris; Sagna, Varane, Koscielny, Tremoulinas; Cabaye, Sissoko, Matuidi; Valbuena, Giroud, Griezmann

Belgium: Courtois; Alderweireld, Denayer, Lombaerts, Vertonghen; Nainggolan, Witsel, Fellaini; Mertens, Benteke, Hazard
