Left field idea if Payne won't be fit in time. Tuiloma. Has played RB a number of times in the MLS and for the AWs. Speaks French, knows the country, and even had a few years in Marseille. Has played in plenty of big games & stadiums. Charlotte unlikely to stop him from going.
Not sure how fit he'd be though for the gut busting up & down full back role.
FYI - NZ play their pool games in Nice (Guinea) & Marseille x2 (USA & then France)
