France will likely be without key defender William Saliba for this game, with the Arsenal man withdrawn early on against Spain in the last game.
More importantly, Didier Deschamps will be hoping his attackers are more switched on after a poor showing in the semi-final.
England know that Jordan Henderson will be unavailable, but Thomas Tuchel may also decide against using the likes of Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice who have been exhausted all season and through this tournament.
Kane and Jude Bellingham will be eager to add to their goal tallies, though, and could well feature.
