We are gradually getting closer to finding out the name of the new European champion. There are only three matches left to play, one of which will be the semi-final meeting between Spain and France.

Both teams had a tough road to this match. Spain only in the last minutes of extra time defeated Germany and went further. But the fate of the meeting between Portugal and France was decided by a penalty shootout, where Joao Felix's inaccurate shot put the "tricolour" into the semi-finals.

At least three new faces will appear in the relatively established Spain squad on Tuesday night.

Pedri's injury against Germany means the tournament is over for him, while Dani Carvajal and Robin Le Norman will miss the game against France due to disciplinary penalties.

Therefore, the veteran pair of Nacho and Jesus Navas could be substitutes in La Roja's back four, while Dani Olmo, who was Luis de la Fuente's joker in the game against Bundestim, will fill Pedri's place in the line-up.

France approach their semi-final match against Spain with no disciplinary problems, but Kylian Mbappe's nasal injury remains a concern for Didier Deschamps as his team lack a spark in the final third.

Marcus Thuram and Ferlan Mendy are also suffering minor injuries, while Adrien Rabiot has returned from a one-match suspension, but it remains to be seen whether he can displace Eduardo Camavigna, who was the tricolour's main engine in the match against Portugal.

N'Golo Kante, who is sure to feature in midfield, has played the most games in the history of the European Championship without losing - eight wins and five draws - so he can be considered the lucky talisman of the French.

Based on these facts, the Dailysports team has prepared predicted line-ups for the Spain vs France match.
