Didier Deschamps will deploy Real Madrid star Eduardo Camavinga as a left-back in France’s upcoming opening Euro qualifiers, including a trip to Ireland on March 27.

Les Bleus have lost a reservoir of experience through the retirements of Hugo Lloris, Raphael Varane and Karim Benzema but fears about veteran striker Olivier Giroud joining them have been allayed by his inclusion.
