😡 Ignored club doctors? PSG furious over injuries | OneFootball

There’s tension at Paris Saint-Germain: After injuries to Ousmane Dembélé and Désiré Doué during the international matches, the club is sounding the alarm. In a letter to the French Football Federation, PSG is demanding a new medical protocol that would enable closer cooperation between clubs and the national team.

"The health of the players and their medical care must be the absolute priority," the club writes on its website—and clearly criticizes that previously communicated information regarding workload limits and injury risks was ignored.

According to PSG, "there was no exchange whatsoever" with the club’s doctors. They had already provided specific information before the start of the international break. The consequences: two key players are now missing due to injury.

Dembélé is expected to be out for six to eight weeks with a muscle fiber tear he sustained in the qualifier against Ukraine. The French news agency AFP reportedly learned this from the player’s camp on Saturday.

Despite the criticism, PSG also emphasizes that it will continue to support the national team. Nevertheless, it is clear: "The recent, avoidable incidents must lead to swift and concrete action."

The club therefore wants a fixed framework for the exchange of medical data in the future—and for players to be used more cautiously when under strain or undergoing ongoing treatment.
