How Hungary could line up against France

How Hungary could line up against France

Ahead of their weekend battle with France in Group F, Hungary are confirmed to be without Daniel Gazdag for the remainder of their Euro 2020 campaign.

The Philadelphia Union midfielder played no part in Tuesday's defeat to Portugal due to injury, and he is now confirmed to be missing the rest of what may be a short-lived stint for Hungary at the Euros.

Marco Rossi's side held their own for 84 minutes against the reigning European champions before the floodgates opened, so the Hungary boss is unlikely to shuffle the pack for the visit of the reigning world champions.

RB Leipzig teammates Peter Gulacsi and Willi Orban will marshal their own penalty area with the support of Endre Botka and Attila Szalai, although Orban did pick up a booking versus Portugal.

Bristol City's Adam Nagy should start in what would be his 50th appearance for the national team, while Andras Schafer will also hope to keep his spot in the middle, despite pressure from Loic Nego.

Szabolcs Schon sent a 55,000-strong Puskas Arena crowd into delirium with a goal against Portugal that was ultimately disallowed, but the 20-year-old is unlikely to force his way into the side over Roland Sallai or Adam Szalai.

Hungary possible starting lineup: Gulacsi; Botka, Orban, At.Szalai; Lovrencsics, Schafer, Kleinheisler, Nagy, Fiola; Sallai, Ad.Szalai
