Olivier Giroud and Adil Rami missed a training session each to nurse minor problems but both will be available.
Republic of Ireland full-back Stephen Ward is a doubt with an ankle problem.
The defender was able to complete the win against Italy despite suffering the injury in the first half but is nonetheless a major fitness concern.
Forward Jonathan Walters, who has missed the last two games with an Achilles injury, has returned to training and could be in contention against the French.
France have had a week to prepare for the last 16, and could be fresher than their opponents, having rested several key players in their final group game. The Republic of Ireland, however, arrive in Lyon battle-hardened - with this effectively their second "knock-out" game in the space of five days.
Martin O'Neill's men knew nothing but a win would do against Italy on Wednesday and Robbie Brady's header sent them through. It is the first time they have progressed beyond the group stage at a European Championship finals, and their first knock-out game at a major tournament since the 2002 World Cup.
Striker Shane Long says the game is a "massive opportunity" for the Irish.
"It's a tough game, but we're approaching it like we do any other game," he said.
"We'll look at their team, their set-pieces, their individuals and put a plan together that sees us beat them."
Set-pieces could be a crucial weapon against a French side with a good recent defensive record. In their last four games (including a friendly against Scotland), they have faced a total of just two shots on target.
