Ilyas Azizi
TOU
Recovered from illness
Azizi (illness) has recovered from the flu that kept him out of Friday's 3-0 victory over Le Mans and is available for Sunday's Ligue 1 encounter against Troyes, according to Les Violets.
Analysis: Azizi is set to return to Toulouse's matchday squad after missing Friday's victory over Le Mans due to illness. The young winger has recovered from the flu and should be available for selection Sunday, providing coach Jens Berthel Askou with another option out wide. Azizi has enjoyed increased playing time this season, recording five Ligue 1 appearances, including four starts, while totaling 319 minutes after featuring for just 26 league minutes throughout the 2025/26 campaign. He has registered eight shots, four chances created, nine crosses and eight tackles without recording a goal or assist. However, Aron Donnum strengthened his case for a starting role by contributing a goal and an assist against Le Mans, potentially leaving Azizi competing for minutes rather than immediately reclaiming his place in the lineup.
Sidelined by illness
Azizi (illness) is not in the squad for Friday's match at Le Mans due to the flu, per Les Violets.
Analysis: Azizi missed Friday's trip to Le Mans with the flu and is expected to resume training in the coming days. He has started each of the past four games and is targeting a return against Troyes next Saturday.
Breaks into starting XI
Azizi has made four Ligue 1 appearances for Toulouse, including three starts in the last three matches under new coach Jens Berthel Askou.
Analysis: Azizi has played 248 minutes, a sharp increase after appearing for just 26 league minutes in 2025/26. He started in the Sept. 19 win over Le Havre and came off in the 72nd minute, while remaining without a goal or assist this season. The youngster still has good contributions, logging in seven shots, two chances created, seven crosses and seven tackles in four outings for the TeFeCe.
Subbed in on Saturday
Azizi recorded no stats in Saturday's 2-0 loss versus Lyon.
Analysis: Azizi replaced Julian Vignolo in the 71st minute and proceeded to register six passes. Azizi only featured in three games last campaign, all as a substitute and featuring in the opener this campaign might indicate a campaign with better involvement.
