THE BIGGER PICTURE: Giroud extended his lead as France's record goalscorer by netting in Saturday's quarter-final win over England, making it 53 in total. Guendouzi, meanwhile, has scored just once in his seven caps.
WHAT NEXT FOR FRANCE? The reigning world champions continue their bid to retain the trophy against Morocco on Wednesday.
