The 2018 World Cup winners got off the mark in Group F with a 1-0 win over Germany, with a fearsome front three of Kylian Mbappe, Karim Benzema and Antoine Griezmann starting together for the first time in a competitive game.
Hungary lost their opening game 3-0 to Portugal after three late goals, and their hopes took another hit this week when midfielder Daniel Gazdag withdrew from the squad through injury, robbing them of another creative option after Dominik Szoboszlai and Zsolt Kalmar also missed out on the tournament.
Szabolcs Schon, who had a goal disallowed against Portugal when the score was 0-0 after coming on as a substitute, is unlikely to force his way into the starting lineup with Rossi set to keep faith with Roland Sallai and Adam Szalai up top.
