Turkey Team News:
Turkey head coach Şenol Güneş named a 33-man squad for the friendlies as well as for the Euro qualifiers. Here is the full Turkey squad which will play in the next two games:
Gunes made wholesale changes in the last two games, possibly trying to get to know about the fitness of some players and the possible combination to go with against France.
Despite not featuring in either of Turkey’s friendly games, Burak Yilmaz is expected to lead the attack for his country. The likes of Oğuzhan Özyakup, Cengiz Ünder, Hakan Çalhanoğlu, and Mehmet Zeki Çelik will definitely start the match.

Potential Game Changers:
Captain and Vice-Captain option:
Cengiz Under – It’s going to be a difficult game for the world champions. Şenol Güneş is an experienced manager and knows a thing or two about upsetting the big teams. He will set up his team to frustrate the visitors while looking to hit them on the counter attacks as well.
In that sense, Cengiz Under will be crucial. He has both the technique and the pace to trouble the visitors.
Kylian Mbappe – For some, he is ahead of his age, in terms of having the effect on the teams he is playing for. Just 20 years of age, he has the world at his feet already. He scored 33 league goals this season, and also became the youngest to reach the 50-goal mark.
Then there are the likes of Antoine Griezmann, Hakan Calhangolu, Paul Pogna and Olivier Giroud, whose record for France is exceptional.
