Jérémy Jacquet, Lucas Da Cunha et Andy Diouf show promise on France debuts | OneFootball

Jérémy Jacquet, Lucas Da Cunha et Andy Diouf made their France debuts against Belgium on Monday, each leaving a promising impression.

Zinédine Zidane showed no hesitation in turning to the trio for Les Bleus, L'Équipe reports.

Their performances were not identical, but all three can reasonably hope for further opportunities after a first cap.

It was the first time in a single match that so many debutants had started for France since 11 August 2010, when Adil Rami, Aly Cissokho, Charles N'Zogbia, Guillaume Hoarau, Stéphane Ruffier and Yann M'Vila faced Norway.

Back then, Laurent Blanc was obliged to call in young reinforcements because of sanctions linked to the World Cup in South Africa.
