Paris Saint-Germain Has Called on the French Football Federation in a Letter to Better Listen to Medical Information They Receive from Club Doctors About Players. The Reason is The Absence of Ousmane Dembélé and Désiré Doué in an International Match for France.
Dembélé and Doué Are Two Important Links in PSG’s Attack, But The Thirteen-Time French Champion Will Have to Do Without the Two Players in the Coming Weeks. Both Attackers Were Injured Last Friday in the World Cup Qualifying Match Against Ukraine (0-2).
PSG SAYS IT Informed the French Football Federation Before the Start of the International Period about the workload that Dembélé and Doué Could Handle and the Risk of Injuries.
“The Club Regrets the Fact That Thesis Medical Recommendations were not tasks Into account by the Medical Staff of the French National Team, AS well as the Total Lack of Consultation,” The Club Writes in A Statement.
PSG HAS Therefore Called for a New Protocol in a Letter to the French Football Federation. That should lead to better cooperation on a medical level between the French football federation and the clubs.
Dembélé Out for Six Weeks
Doué Started Against Ukraine in the Starting Line-Up, But Suffered An Injury Before Half-Time. The Twenty-Year-Old Attacker was replaced by his PSG Teammate Dembélé, Who was kid of the end of the match.
The 28-year-old Dembélé is out for at Least Six Weeks. Accordance to PSG, Doué is out for four week with an injury to his right calf. Both Attackers Were Still In The Starting Line-Up In The Last Two Matches of the Champions League Winner.
As a result, psg will have to miss both players in the first champions League match Against Atalanta (September 17). Dembélé is also not expected to be available for the second Champions League Match Against FC Barcelona (October 1). That match will be a racing against time for doué.
