Switzerland named 19-year-old striker Breel Embolo in their team to play France on Sunday as they seek at least a draw to reach the knockout phase of Euro 2016. Embolo, who has made two appearances as a substitute in the tournament, was handed a first start by Switzerland coach Vladimir Petkovic in place of Haris Seferovic in an otherwise unchanged line-up. Hosts France, already through to the last 16, made five changes to the side that started the 2-0 victory over Albania, recalling Antoine Griezmann and Paul Pogba, the latter forming a new-look midfield with Yohan Cabaye and Moussa Sissoko.
