""Kylian still has inflammation in his ankle," Deschamps told a press conference. "I've released him back to Real Madrid; their staff will decide what to do.""
""There was no risk to take, as was the case with [Eduardo] Camavinga before him. No risks to take with anyone. He's back with his club. The 22 players who are here will be involved in the match.""

France qualified for the 2026 World Cup after a 4-0 win over Ukraine in which Kylian Mbappé scored twice and assisted once. Mbappé's brace raised his international tally to 55 goals and his overall career total to 400. Mbappé continues to experience ankle inflammation and has returned to Real Madrid for treatment. Didier Deschamps opted not to risk him for the final qualifier against Azerbaijan. France top Group D by six points, with Azerbaijan unable to qualify. Deschamps plans changes for the match and Hugo Ekitike could benefit after scoring as a substitute.
