In addition to the stinging defeat suffered on Thursday in front of Spain in the semi-finals of the League of Nations (5-4 after being led 5-1), the French team wiped two bad news at the end of the weekend. The wounds synonymous with Ousmane Dembélé and Bradley Barcola.
A time deemed uncertain for the third place match against Germany, this Sunday in Stuttgart (kick -off at 3 p.m.), the two PSG attackers had to resign themselves to throwing in the towel. So to return to Paris. The end for them of this international rally.
“” Ousmane Dembélé (Quadriceps) and Bradley Barcola (knee), are unavailable for the small final of the League of Nations against Germanysaid the French Football Federation. They were submitted at the disposal of their club and will not be replaced for the match on Sunday. »»
No Atlético for Dembélé
Earlier in the day, the diagnosis had been made on the evil from which Ousmane Dembélé suffers. Namely a muscular lesion at the level of the left quadriceps which will require for the interested party a cut of two to three weeks. Inevitably annoying in the perspective of the World Cup club which for PSG begins on June 15 against Atlético de Madrid.
The concern is less for a Bradley Barcola who received a blow on the right knee but for whom no risk will be taken. Precisely for the tournament that awaits the Parisian club in the United States in the coming days. These two early departures should promise playing time to a certain Rayan Cherki on Sunday against Mannschaft.
