Franck Le Gall: PSG Targetting Blues Doctor?

His name does not appear anywhere throughout the four paragraphs of the annoyed press release, published by PSG on Sunday, but he is the man particularly targeted by the Parisian diatribe. Because behind “the medical staff of the French team”, accused by the winners of the last Champions League of having ignored the alerts around the risks of injury of his players, there is above all his manager: the doctor of the Blues Franck Le Gall.

Since Friday evening and the injuries of Ousmane Dembélé and desired Doué during the victory over Ukraine (0-2) in qualifying for the 2026 World Cup, the practitioner and his work are questioned in a controversy between one of the most powerful clubs in the world and the French team. Where Paris Saint-Germain accuses him, pell-mell, of not taking into account his “medical recommendations” and denounces “the total absence of solicitation and consultation”. A letter to which the president of the FFF Philippe Diallo responded this Monday by writing to Nasser al-Khelaïfi to advocate appeasement and affirm his absolute confidence in the staff of the Blues.
