The first semifinal of this 2026 World Cup takes place this Tuesday evening between France and Spain at the AT&T Stadium in Dallas.

For this blockbuster clash, Désiré Doué could once again get the nod over Barcola on the left wing for France. In midfield, Tchouaméni is expected to return after missing the last two matches due to a groin injury.

On the Roja side, Luis de la Fuente is likely to field the same starting eleven that faced Belgium (2-1) in the quarterfinals. Here are the probable lineups for both teams.

France: Maignan - Koundé, Upamecano, Saliba, Digne - Tchouaméni, Rabiot - Dembélé, Olise, Doué - Mbappé.

Spain: Simon - Porro, Cubarsi, Laporte, Cucurella - Rodri, Ruiz - Yamal, Olmo, Baena - Oyarzabal.
