From the last square of the Nations League this summer, the French team attacks the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in the late December, with Ukraine in Poland (September 5) – and Iceland, at home in the Park des Princes (September 9).
Didier Deschamps has already lifted his troops and called under the flags in particular Rayan Cherki and Ousmane Dembélé for gunners. Las, neither of us will be present for the occasion. The last competition weekend before the international break has given birth to very bad news.
It was first the Neo-Cityzen who ended up on the tile on Saturday, on the eve of the Skyblues Premier League match against Brighton. Muscularly hit in a thigh, Rayan Cherki is already forfeit this Sunday and very uncertain for the gathering of the Blues. No risk to be taken a priori with a player who cost nearly 40 million euros in Manchester City this summer.
Dembélé, relapse?
Bad news never arriving alone, Ousmane Dembélé in turn felt muscle pain in the evening during the Ligue 1 match between TFC and PSG. Released from the field while grimacing before the last quarter of an hour, the pretender in the Golden Ball 2025 seems to suffer from the left thigh.
Recall that Le Parisien had missed the latest match of the Blues-on June 8 in Stuttgart against Germany, for the small final of the League of Nations (0-2 victory of the French team)-due to a quadriceps lesion of this same leg. Distrust, therefore.
