MATCH THREAD - Ecuador vs France - Group E - 9PM KO (UK Time) - Wednesday 25th June

Vs

Ecuador have no reported injury concerns and could be unchanged from the side that beat Honduras.

Enner Valencia, Juan Carlos Paredes, Jefferson Montero and Antonio Valencia are all one booking from a ban.

Mamadou Sakho limped out of France's win over Switzerland with a thigh problem and is unlikely to be risked, while fellow defender Raphael Varane has been laid low by gastroenteritis.

Yohan Cabaye serves a one-match ban for collecting two yellow cards.

I wish we'd sign Morgan Schneiderlein.

Martinez said something like "keep an eye on Morgan Schneiderlein who had a fanstastic season at S'ton" when he was briefly previewing the match on ESPN so seems to like him as well
