The French Football Federation (FFF) and its president Philippe Diallo sent a letter to Paris Saint-Germain on Monday, September 8, according to Radio France. Three days after Ousmane Dembélé (28) and Désiré Doué (19) were injured against Ukraine, the FFF sought to reassure the club about its medical vigilance and to defend its national team staff.
“The president of the French Football Federation wants in this letter to reassure the club”
“The FFF and its president, Philippe Diallo, sent a letter to PSG on Monday, September 8, in a bid to ease tensions, Sports Management at Radio France learned, three days after the injuries to Ousmane Dembélé and Désiré Doué during France’s match against Ukraine.
The president of the French Football Federation wants in this letter to reassure the club about the great importance he places on players’ health, while also taking the opportunity to defend the French medical staff, according to Sports Management.”
It is clear that in this case, everyone is protecting their own interests. Even the media, which are relaying very little substance. Did Diallo really write a letter to PSG? Perhaps we will see it in the coming days. For now, appeasement seems to be the top priority.
The French national team needs everything but a clash with the clubs. Injuries happen regularly—two at once is simply bad luck. The focus must quickly shift to the challenges ahead.
