Consultant Criticizes Deschamps for Risking Dembélé in Match Against Ukraine

In a match that has become the center of attention, Ousmane Dembélé was forced to exit the field prematurely due to a **right hamstring injury**. This incident occurred on a Friday night as France played against Ukraine.

Injury concerns for Paris Saint-Germain

The **Parisian management is displeased** with the situation, particularly because Dembélé was already **physically compromised** before joining the national team. Initially seated on the bench, Dembélé replaced **Désiré Doué**, who was injured as well, during the halftime break. Doué suffered from a **right calf issue**.

Criticism of Didier Deschamps’ decision-making

During the **After Foot** program on **RMC**, analyst **Damien Perquis** criticized the national coach, **Didier Deschamps**, for his handling of the situation. Perquis argued that Dembélé’s participation was unnecessary and remarked on the **communication failures** among the involved parties. He stated, “Seeing his attitude post-match, it seemed he wasn’t eager to play.”

PSG faces lineup challenges

As a result, **PSG will be without both Dembélé and Doué** for several weeks, sidelining them from significant matches against **Atalanta in the Champions League**, the **Olympique de Marseille**, and likely against **FC Barcelona**.

The club had previously warned the **French Football Federation** about the players’ conditions through a formal letter, expressing frustration at the current predicament. **Luis Enrique**, the PSG manager, must now devise an alternative offensive strategy. The anticipated lineup for upcoming matches might feature **Kvaratskhelia, Gonçalo Ramos,** and **Bradley Barcola**. There is also speculation that **Kang-In Lee** could step in as a false number 9 or number 10, taking over Dembélé’s role.

This unfolding scenario is one to watch closely as PSG seeks solutions on the field.
