Real Madrid Midfielders Out, Zaire-Emery In: PSG Star Could Make History

Originally posted on PSG Talk | Last updated 11/15/23

The French national football team awaits the possibility of Warren Zaire-Emery making history. After his first call-up to the senior squad, the teenager could appear in the starting 11 immediately.

Le Parisian has reported that the unexpected withdrawal of Real Madrid midfielders Tchouaméni and Camavinga paved the way for this young talent to enter the international stage.

At just 17 years, eight months, and 10 days, the Paris Saint-Germain midfielder can etch itself into the annals of French football history.

If he takes the field against Gibraltar, as anticipated, Zaire-Emery will break a longstanding record to become the youngest French international player since 1945.

Zaire-Emery’s potential inclusion in the starting lineup reflects the trust the coaching staff and team management have in his abilities. The teenager has already earned the trust of PSG manager Luis Enrique.

As a result, it wouldn’t be a surprise if he soon began earning that level of trust from manager Didier Deschamps.
