PARIS (Reuters) - France coach Didier Deschamps hinted he would make several changes to his team to face Kazakhstan in their next World Cup qualifier on Sunday to preserve his players' health after a lacklustre draw against Ukraine in their opening game.

The world champions looked short of energy as they kicked off their qualifying campaign with a 1-1 home draw against Ukraine and now face back-to-back matches against Kazakhstan and Bosnia.
