After goalkeeper Alphonse Areola recovered from back trouble to make the bench against Tunisia, France boss Deschamps should be afforded the luxury of a fully-fit squad for Sunday's last-16 game - the ankle injury that Theo Hernandez sustained in training on Friday is not expected to rule him out.
A plethora of changes can be expected from the champions after Deschamps gave run-outs to several fringe players against Tunisia, with Mbappe, Griezmann, Dembele and Olivier Giroud - who needs one more goal to break Thierry Henry's men's record for the national team - all coming back in.
Neither Jordan Veretout nor Youssouf Fofana, the latter of whom stood still to remonstrate with the referee as Khazri charged past him to score, covered themselves in glory last time out, so Aurelien Tchouameni and Adrien Rabiot will return to the base of the midfield here.
France possible starting lineup:
Lloris; Kounde, Varane, Upamecano, T. Hernandez; Tchouameni, Rabiot; Dembele, Griezmann, Mbappe; Giroud
Poland
As for Poland, Michniewicz also has all of his troops available for Sunday's knockout battle, although no fewer than six players would miss any potential quarter-final match if they are cautioned here.
Suspension concerns should not factor into the thinking of the Poland manager, who took off Przemyslaw Frankowski and Karol Swiderski at half time against Argentina, but the former should not be in any danger of losing his place.
However, Arkadiusz Milik and Krzysztof Piatek are both waiting in the wings to take the place of Swiderski alongside Robert Lewandowski in the final third.
Poland possible starting lineup:
Szczesny; Cash, Glik, Kiwior, Bereszynski; Frankowski, Bielik, Krychowiak, Zielinski; Lewandowski, Milik
Prediction: France 2-0 Poland
