Olivier Giroud leads France attack

Olivier Giroud has been chosen to lead the line for France in their friendly against Serbia at the Matmut Atlantique this evening.

The Arsenal striker comes in for Karim Benzema and will be joined in the attack by Antoine Griezmann and Mathieu Valbuena, whose free kick helped Les Bleus to a 1-0 victory over Portugal last week.

There are also starts at the back for Manchester City duo Eliaquim Mangala and Bacary Sagna, while Anthony Martial is again named on the bench.

Meanwhile, Lazar Markovic, Dusan Tadic and Aleksandar Mitrovic will start in a forward trio for the visitors.

France: Lloris, Sagna, Mangala, Varane, Tremoulinas, Pogba, Matuidi, Schneiderlin, Griezmann, Valbuena, Giroud

Serbia: Rajkovic, Tomovic, Ivanovic, Spajic, Obradovic, Fejsa, Gudelj, Matic, Markovic, Mitrovic, Tadic
