Bakayoko of Trossard?

Nonetheless, till now on the European Championship he needed to make do with a half-hour substitute in opposition to Slovakia.
The opposite choice is Leandro Trossard. The 29-year-old Arsenal participant usually performs centrally at his membership, however may play on the wing.
