The trio replace the injured Raphael Varane, Jeremy Mathieu and Lassana Diarra, a late withdrawal with a knee problem.

Liverpool centre back Mamadou Sakho was not included even though his 30-day provisional suspension for failing a drugs test expired last weekend.

Hosts France geared up for the finals with a 3-2 victory over Cameroon in Nantes on Monday. They take on Scotland in Metz on Saturday.
