Paris Saint-Germain has issued a strong statement criticizing the French national team’s medical management. The club is calling for a new protocol to coordinate between clubs and national teams. **”Paris Saint-Germain, which provides medical monitoring for its players throughout the year, had shared specific medical details with the Federation prior to the French team’s gathering, detailing the players’ workload tolerance and injury risks,”** the club stated.

Deschamps’ response to PSG’s concerns

France’s coach, Didier Deschamps, addressed the situation on the Sunday program Téléfoot. He tactfully responded to PSG’s frustration, as the club will be without one of its stars for approximately six weeks. **”We have always maintained communication with all clubs, and we are aware of the players’ situations when we receive information,”** Deschamps said on TF1. **”Some clubs provide more detail than others. We conduct our processes with seriousness and professionalism.”**

Understanding from Deschamps

Discussing PSG’s anger, Deschamps continued: **”I understand their viewpoint. In their position, I would feel similarly. I am not here to take unnecessary risks. Once a player is on the field, zero risk does not exist. For instance, Cherki and Saliba were injured, and they did not join us. We approached this with seriousness and diligence, always considering the player’s feedback during each session. The player’s feedback is crucial for me. If, after 20 minutes, a player like Désiré indicates an issue, we make a change.”**
