The coach has assessed his players and is ready to rest a number of options for the weekend's encounter - but they could play against Russia.
Hugo Lloris, Bacary Sagna, Yohan Cabaye and Kingsley Coman will sit out France's international friendly against Netherlands in Amsterdam on Friday.
None of the quartet are injured but coach Didier Deschamps has decided to rest the players on the back of a busy schedule with their club sides.
Marseille goalkeeper Steve Mandanda will start instead of Lloris, while Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Blaise Matuidi will take the captain's armband in the absence of the Tottenham keeper.
