Azerbaijan v France: Chevalier and fringe players get their chance | OneFootball

This Sunday, November 16, the French press (on the sports side) did not focus on any particular aspect of Paris Saint-Germain, as all attention is on the Azerbaijan/France match at 6 p.m., as part of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. It’s a match without stakes (France is qualified, Azerbaijan eliminated), with a rotation that should allow some players to showcase themselves. Including Parisians (Lucas Chevalier, Lucas Hernandez, and Warren Zaïre-Emery).

The stakes of the match are obviously limited, since France is already qualified and Azerbaijan eliminated. There is reason to be cautious; the spectacle might be lacking. But there is still hope that the players on the field will be highly motivated, as a major rotation is planned. It’s a chance to score some points, not to mention getting back into rhythm before returning to their clubs. This is especially true for Chevalier. The goalkeeper will experience his first cap and should make the most of it. We hope to see a good match, without any injuries, of course.
