Azerbaijan v France: Les Bleus set for major squad rotation | OneFootball

This Sunday, the French National Team will play in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Azerbaijan at 8:45 PM at the Tofiq Bahramov Stadium. A match involving 4 Paris Saint-Germain players, all French: Lucas Chevalier, Lucas Hernandez, Warren Zaïre-Emery, and Bradley Barcola. L’Equipe announces a probable lineup for the Bleus with 3 of them as starters.

Ekitike

Nkunku – Akliouche – Thauvin

Thuram – Zaïre-Emery

T. Hernandez – L. Hernandez – Konaté – Gusto

Chevalier.

A very credible lineup, as many changes are expected compared to the match against Ukraine on Thursday (4-0). The matches are close together and the travel is quite long, but the qualification already secured allows for an easier rotation.

This will be an opportunity for some to showcase themselves and score points ahead of the World Cup. We can think of our Parisians, including Chevalier, who should earn his first cap. Let's hope to see the Bleus motivated and ready to deliver an interesting match to watch, as Azerbaijan is already eliminated. This limits the stakes of the match.
