Ribery and Evra unlikely to start

Ribery and Evra started Friday's Euro qualifier in Luxembourg, which France won 2-0 to extend their Group D lead, but Blanc said he would make changes in midfield and up front with only the goalkeeper and central defence left alone.

"Tomorrow (keeper) Hugo (Lloris) will play, he needs playing time. It is very important for a keeper to build confidence and learn to play with his defence," Blanc told a news conference at the Stade de France on Monday.

"So the keeper and the defence will be the same as against Luxembourg. Well, the central defence, I mean."

"Almost all the players in the squad will have participated in both games," said Blanc, who hopes his team will be strong enough to weather the Stade de France storm should Evra and Ribery come on and be whistled by the crowd.

"We have to get ready for every scenario. If it's negative, we will have to overturn the situation with our football," he said.

In France's 2-1 win over Croatia in the semi-final, Bilic fell theatrically after Blanc flicked him on the chin and the Frenchman was sent off and missed the showpiece.

"It's in the past. He says it was my fault and he was right. There will be no hard feelings," said Blanc.
