The case of Ousmane Dembélé continues to debate in France. Victim of a tear at the right-back ischi-legs with the French team against Ukraine (2-0) last Friday, during the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, the tricolor striker will be absent for six weeks, according to the information communicated by Paris Saint-Germain.
This hard blow earned coach Didier Deschamps a rain of criticism. The capital's club has notably called into question the management of the tricolor striker by the Bayonnais technician and his staff. Bixente Lizarazu, former left side of the Blues, judged the reaction of the champion of France and Europe particularly inadequate.
“I can't find it correct”
“Paris puts a big pressure on the French team and I cannot find it correct or respectful vis-à-vis Didier Deschamps. His experience as a player or coach is much larger than anyone. He has no reason to take a particular risk with Dembélé and if he made it play, it was that the player felt it and that he thought it was ok ”said World Champion 98 in the columns of The team.
“To doubt the professionalism of Deschamps is quite lamentable. Accuse him of negligence too. (…) On the other hand, I can understand that PSG is annoyed by the injuries of Dembélé and Désiré Goué, but it should above all get annoyed against the calendar, against this World Cup of clubs at the end of an already exhausting season ”added Lizarazu.
