PSG Furious with France over Dembélé Hamstring Injury

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is extremely upset with France manager Didier Deschamps following the hamstring injury of star winger Ousmane Dembélé during France's World Cup qualifier against Ukraine. Dembélé, who had recently suffered a hamstring issue with PSG, was brought on at halftime but had to be substituted after less than 40 minutes due to a serious hamstring injury expected to sideline him for about six weeks. This injury will cause Dembélé to miss key Champions League matches against Atalanta and Barcelona, as well as important Ligue 1 fixtures, including the marquee game against Marseille. PSG's medical staff had reportedly warned the French national team's medical team about Dembélé's fragility and urged that he should not play, but Deschamps defended his decision, stating the player was fit and capable of performing. The club describes the decision as "ridiculous" and "incomprehensible," especially given Dembélé's recent injury history and lack of preseason conditioning, blaming the French team for not adequately heeding medical advice. Additionally, PSG suffered another injury blow with Désiré Doué sustaining a calf strain during the same match, adding to the club's frustrations with the international break.
