Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) forward Kylian Mbappe has been given the #10 shirt after France announced their squad numbers for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
Les Bleus have made last-minute changes to their 26-man squad, with AS Monaco defender Axel Disasi replacing PSG's Presnel Kimpembe.
The Parisians' defender has not fully recovered from a hamstring issue and won't be risked in Qatar.
Borussia Monchengladbach forward Marcus Thuram has also been added to the squad.
Didier Deschamps' side are among the favorites to win the FIFA World Cup trophy and successfully defend their crown.
They have officially announced their squad numbers for the tournament, which gives an insight into how Deschamps perhaps views his team. It's no surprise that PSG striker Mbappe will don the #10 shirt.
Mbappe wears the number at the Parc des Princes and did so during France's World Cup triumph in 2018. He has been in fine form for PSG this season, scoring 19 goals and providing five assists in 20 appearances across competitions.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid forward and 2022 Ballon d'Or winner Karim Benzema has been given the #19 shirt.
Although he wears the #9 for Madrid, AC Milan frontman Olivier Giroud will wear that number.
Arsenal's in-form defender William Saliba will wear the #17 shirt as his preferred #12 has gone to RB Leipzig attacker Christopher Nkunku.
Saliba has made 17 appearances this season, scoring two goals and providing an assist.
He has helped the Gunners keep eight clean sheets as his team sits at the top of the Premier League table.
Newcomers Thuram and Disasi have been handed the #26 and #3 shirt numbers.
Here is the full list of squad numbers France players will be wearing at the FIFA World Cup in Qatar:
