Already qualified for the 2026 World Cup, the Blues approach their last match in Azerbaijan on Sunday (6 PM) with a clear idea: significant rotation, maximum freshness. Didier Deschamps wants to manage the players after the 4-0 victory against Ukraine and the quick trip to Baku… but some players, especially from PSG, could take advantage of this.
According to RMC Sport, Lucas Chevalier is set to finally make his first selection in goal. A highly anticipated starting position, symbolizing a largely renewed eleven. He would not be the only Parisian to start.
In defense, Lucas Hernandez has a head start to begin the match. The PSG defender, in great shape, represents one of the few key players likely to be aligned in a match where Deschamps still wants a minimum of stability. In midfield, Warren Zaïre-Emery could also be given a starting role. At 18, the Parisian prodigy continues to climb the hierarchy, and Baku could offer him a new key role in an unprecedented trio.
Barcola on the Bench
Around them, the rotation will be massive: Gusto, Théo Hernandez, Akliouche, Ekitike, Mateta… All hope to make an impression before the final sprint leading to the World Cup. However, Bradley Barcola, who has been fatigued in recent days, will take a seat on the bench.
Kylian Mbappé, who scored a double and provided an assist against Ukraine (4-0), has left the Blues’ gathering and will not play in Azerbaijan on Sunday. The FFF announces that he is suffering from inflammation in his right ankle and is returning to Madrid for examinations with Real.
Massive turnover, but a golden opportunity for the Parisians. For Chevalier, Lucas Hernandez, and Zaïre-Emery, Baku could be more than just a meaningless match: a real chance to establish themselves in the French landscape before 2026.
