Lizarazu returns to French XI

Bixente Lizarazu returned for France’s final Group B match with Switzerland at the Estadio Cidade de Coimbra as coach Jacques Santini made four changes to the team held 2-2 by Croatia.

Lizarazu, dropped against Croatia, returned at left-back despite publicly criticising Santini’s tactics with Mikael Silvestre moving back into the centre of defence alongside Lilian Thuram.
