Chevalier's World Cup Dream Fading as Risser Edges Into France Picture
Chevalier's PSG gamble isn't paying off — and a new face is knocking on the door of France's World Cup squad
A promising move to PSG has backfired — and now Lucas Chevalier is watching his World Cup hopes slip away.
Chevalier's switch to Paris Saint-Germain was supposed to fast-track him into France's No.1 conversation. Instead, a string of unconvincing performances has seen him lose his starting spot to Matvey Safonov — and the consequences for his national team future are now very real.
According to Le Parisien, Chevalier won't even make the squad for the upcoming international break. With Mike Maignan firmly ahead of him in the pecking order, RC Lens keeper Robin Risser is now expected to come in as the third-choice option — and with the World Cup approaching, Chevalier is running out of time to turn things around.
