PSG Displeased with Coach Deschamps from France
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is set to be without its two attacking forces, Desiré Doué and Ousmane Dembelé, for the coming weeks, following injuries sustained during France's World Cup qualifying match against Ukraine in Breslau.
The match, which resulted in a 2:0 win for France, saw both Doué and Dembelé being substituted early due to injuries. Dembele's injury, a hamstring injury, is likely to keep him out for 4 to 6 weeks. The exact length of Doué's break is initially unclear.
Didier Deschamps, the manager of the French national team, defended himself against criticism for playing Dembele despite his injury. Despite the injury, Deschamps had no doubts about Dembele's fitness before the match. However, it seems the decision may have a negative impact on PSG, as Dembele was substituted during the match despite warnings from PSG's medical department, as he was still recovering from a previous injury.
The injuries to Doué and Dembelé are likely to cause concern for PSG, who are the Champions League winners. The source of the information is dpa.
In a statement, PSG expressed anger over the injuries, criticizing the French football federation because Dembele was played despite still recovering from a previous injury, which PSG's medical team had warned about. The club has taken responsibility for the situation and expressed their hope for a speedy recovery for both players.
The injury to Doué occurred during the second half of the France vs Ukraine match, as he came on to replace Dembele. The details surrounding Doué's injury are not yet clear.
This double injury blow comes at a crucial time for PSG, who are currently in the midst of their Champions League campaign. The absence of Doué and Dembelé is likely to put added pressure on the remaining players as they strive to maintain their form and continue their successful run in the competition.
