This Tuesday, September 9, the French press (from a sports perspective) focused on the tension surrounding Ousmane Dembélé’s injury (28-year-old forward) with the French national team, who are hosting Iceland tonight at the Parc des Princes as part of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

Le Parisien –

L’Equipe –

PSG is angry after the careless management of Dembélé that led to a 6-week injury. The FFF and the Bleus staff are defending themselves, which is understandable. But there is definitely a feeling that more care could have been taken with the player. Now, the consequences are serious, especially for the club. They will have to adapt for several important matches.
