-Jean-Philippe Mateta and Liverpool's Hugo Ekitike can provide France with more attacking options as they prepare for next year's World Cup, manager Didier Deschamps said after their 3-1 win over Azerbaijan in a qualifier on Sunday.

Having already qualified with a 4-0 win over Ukraine, France played a second-string side in Baku but managed to overcome a nervous start to get a win and top Group D with 16 points from six games.
