\"Doue <\/a>Doue (L) and Dembele (R) got injured during international duty<\/p>\n

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) have launched a sharp rebuke at the French Football Federation after suffering a double blow: injuries to Ousmane Dembele and Desire Doue, during France\u2019s World Cup qualifier against Ukraine on Friday, September 5, 2025.<\/p>\n

In Poland, France secured a 2-0 win courtesy of early and late strikes from Michael Olise and Kylian Mbappe, who netted his 51st international goal, drawing level with Thierry Henry as France\u2019s second-highest scorer.<\/p>\n

Yet the victory came at a steep price for PSG: Doue suffered a calf strain and had to be substituted at halftime, while Dembele, brought on in the second half, limped off with a hamstring issue around the 81st minute.<\/p>\n

The injuries couldn\u2019t have come at a worse time for PSG. Dembele, one of the frontrunners for the 2025 Ballon d\u2019Or after a sensational treble-winning season, faces approximately six weeks on the sidelines. Doue is expected to be out for about four weeks. <\/p>\n

PSG expressed frustration in a strongly worded statement, saying they had shared specific medical guidance with the French team, including recommended workload limits and injury risks, before the training camp began.<\/p>\n

That guidance, PSG laments, was ignored, with no consultation held with their own medical staff. The club is now demanding a revamped, transparent medical coordination protocol between clubs and the national team, advocating for documented exchanges and a precautionary principle when selecting players, especially those returning from prior issues.<\/p>\n

France coach Didier Deschamps, however, defended his decision to field Dembele, stating the player was deemed fit and the injury occurred in the opposite leg to his previous issue.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was sure that he was capable of playing a high-level match,\u201d Deschamps said.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
