Didier Deschamps has cautioned France, the defending World Cup champion,
not to underrate Poland and its star Robert Lewandowski on Sunday in the
knockout stage.
Deschamps could rest his stars for France’s meaningless last first-round
match because Les Blues quickly advanced through the group stage and
secured a berth in the round of 16 with one game remaining. Adrien Rabiot,
Kylian Mbappe, Ousmane Dembele, and Antonie Griezmann all came off the
bench late in the match against Tunisia, which had nine replacements start.
