The Paris Saint-Germain striker Désiré Doué, tenured with the French team against Ukraine for a qualifying meeting at the 2026 World Cup, came out at halftime. Presumably affected by a calf, the former Rennais was replaced by his teammate in a club, Ousmane Dembélé.
“A concern? No, but a little feeling at a calf, said Didier Deschamps at halftime at the microphone of TF1. Nothing bad. But over the first half, he felt that it was hardening a little so no risk. »»
Reassuring comments from the Blues coach, who decided to replace Désiré Doué with his teammate from PSG Ousmane Dembélé, back from injury. The candidate for the Ballon d’Or 2025 had also been affected by the hamstrings against Toulouse in Ligue 1 (6-3), and remained very uncertain for the evening meeting. He will finally play 45 minutes against the Ukrainians this Friday in Wroclaw (Poland).
The meeting is to follow live commented onleparisien.fr.
