It is the case that will poison the end of this gathering of the French team: the injury of Ousmane Dembélé. Entered the break from Ukraine-France yesterday (victory of the Blues 2-0) to replace Désiré Doué, hit in the calf, the Parisian injured even more seriously than his teammate. On an apparently harmless race, the attacker stopped his effort to stand the back of the right thigh, and had to go out in turn after a big half hour spent on the ground. We shouldn't see him again for a few weeks.
From then on, the controversy swelled. Did the medical staff of the French team and Didier Deschamps showed themselves too light in the face of the player's health? The latter had felt embarrassment to the ischios of the other thigh, the left, in Toulouse last weekend with PSG. He had not finished the match. For his club, it appears obvious that the French team has committed a fault by playing it. Parisian doctors had warned their counterparts of the Blues for the fragile physique, right now, of Dembélé.
Dembélé according to an adapted program
The coach immediately defended it yesterday at a press conference. “Yes, I was sure (to be able to play it), otherwise I do not enter it. In addition, it is the other thigh. He was in good dispositions. Unfortunately for him, but it could have happened to another player. I did in relation to what he thought and from a medical point of view, there was no problem. ” Deschamps refers to the medical staff led by Franck Le Gall, the doctor of the Blues. The latter has also specified in recent days that the player has been following an adapted program, due to the discomfort felt in Toulouse.
Faced with this information, the entrance to Dembélé seemed amazing. He was obviously not 100%, and other players could enter his place like Marcus Thuram or Maghnes Akliouche. The FFF defends itself from having played with the health of the candidate in the Ballon d'Or and recalls on RMC That a player called in selection is forced to go. The body is based on the texts of FIFA, in particular paragraph 1.1 of Annex 1 of the Regulation claiming that “A club having recorded a player must make this player available to the association of the country for which the player is qualified, on the basis of his nationality, if he is summoned by the association in question».
FFF refers to the FIFA texts
Of course, some elements can prevent a player from joining his selection, such as medical advice or an exceptional reason, but it is once again the federation that returns the last word. “”A player who cannot satisfy a summons of the association that he is authorized to represent, on the basis of his nationality, due to an injury or an illness must, at the request of this association, submit to a medical examination with a doctor that the latter will have chosen.In the meantime, PSG does not take off as much as gifted is also decreased, while the Champions League is looming.
