PSG Criticizes FFF Over Injuries to Dembélé and Doué During International Break

Paris Saint-Germain voices strong criticism against the French Football Federation

**Paris, September 2025** — In a turn of events that has left Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) reeling, the club will be without *Ousmane Dembélé* and *Désiré Doué* for several weeks. The injuries occurred during a match against Ukraine as part of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

PSG’s frustration with player management

The injuries to the two French players have not gone down well with PSG’s management. **Dembélé, the club’s number 10, was already facing health concerns before joining the national team.** PSG had previously informed the French national team staff about these issues through formal communication.

Concerns over player health management

PSG has expressed its deep concern and dissatisfaction regarding the handling of their international players’ health during national team duties. The club emphasized the need for rigorous management of player health, criticizing the lack of communication between their medical team and the national team staff.

Previous issues with player call-ups

PSG cited previous incidents to underline their concerns, noting that in June 2025, **Dembélé suffered a fatigue injury shortly after the UEFA Champions League final,** with no communication from the national team staff. Similarly, *Bradley Barcola* and *Warren Zaire-Emery* experienced injuries during national team commitments without proper updates to the club.

Potential response from the French Football Federation

PSG now faces a significant setback with the loss of two key players, including **the best player of the Champions League and a leading Ballon d’Or contender.** These players play crucial roles in *Luis Enrique’s* tactical plans. The French Football Federation (FFF) might respond to PSG’s accusations soon, indicating that this situation is far from resolved. This unfolding issue is poised to create lasting impacts.
