Barcola at centre of new PSG and French FA row | OneFootball

This Tuesday, October 7, the French press (on the sports aspect) focused on the conflict initiated this Monday between Paris Saint-Germain and the French Football Federation regarding Bradley Barcola. The latter announced the withdrawal of the 23-year-old forward for the October break due to a "chronic injury since September 17" and PSG sharply denied it. There is also Senny Mayulu (19-year-old midfielder) who is out with the hopes (not to mention João Neves with Portugal) and a word on the return to form of Lucas Hernandez (29-year-old defender).

It is a very peculiar situation around Barcola, with a withdrawal that is certain but a somewhat unclear cause. Why would the FFF lie? There might be a desire to take a jab at PSG after the Parisian club's complaints during the last round regarding the management of Ousmane Dembélé (28-year-old forward) and Désiré Doué (20-year-old midfielder/forward). Except that the Parisian club can easily deny it. Unless Paris is distorting the truth? Which would also be strange. In any case, it's positive for no one to see such tension. Let's hope for a resolution soon.

Meanwhile, Mayulu and Neves are also out. We hope they can recover quickly. There is currently no talk of a long-term injury. Lucas Hernandez is far from these issues at the moment, and we can only wish for it to last as he has already faced enough bad luck. The defender is taking advantage of playing time to return to full form, which is interesting for PSG and France. It's also a great example of determination.
