France Coach Backs Staff After Criticism Arising From Injuries to Dembele, Doue
-
PARIS — France coach Didier Deschamps defended his staff's handling of Ousmane Dembele and Desire Doue's fitness after both Paris Saint-Germain players were injured on international duty, following criticism from the European champions.
"It's sad for Ousmane and for Desire, of course, because of their injuries, and we're losing two important players for tomorrow's match," Deschamps said on Sept. 8.
"But we did things in a professional and progressive way, as we always do with all the players, taking into account their own feelings."
PSG reacted angrily after Dembele suffered a hamstring problem and Doue injured his calf during the 2-0 win over Ukraine in World Cup qualifying on Sept. 5, accusing the French Football Federation (FFF) of ignoring medical warnings and describing the injuries as "serious and avoidable."
