Ukraine v France: Doué taken off as a precaution, Deschamps reassures fans | OneFootball

At halftime of the Ukraine – France match, Didier Deschamps gave reassuring news about Désiré Doué (19 years old, offensive midfielder for Paris Saint-Germain). He was taken off as a precaution after feeling discomfort in his calf, but the young Parisian is not suffering from any serious injury according to the coach.

Didier Deschamps chose to be cautious by substituting Désiré Doué at halftime. The Paris Saint-Germain midfielder, who was celebrating his fourth selection with the Blues, felt a progressive tension in his left calf. Rather than taking any risk, the coach preferred to save him, emphasizing the minor nature of the discomfort.

For Doué, this decision is part of a management strategy: at 19, he is already playing high-level matches with PSG and the French team. His game volume and explosiveness make him a major asset, but also expose him to minor muscle alerts. At this stage, no withdrawal or major concern is envisaged, which reassures PSG, engaged in a demanding season on all fronts.
