Another blow for PSG! Desire Doue forced to withdraw from France squad with Parisians already angered by Ousmane Dembele injury

PSG have now been dealt a double injury blow during the international break, as after Dembele's injury, Doue has now picked up a knock and has withdrawn from the France squad. According to journalist Fabrice Hawkins, Doue has suffered a calf injury and will leave the France squad immediately to undergo further scans and examinations. 

Incidentally, it was Doue who replaced Dembele in France's World Cup qualifier against Ukraine on Friday. The 20-year-old came on as a second-half substitute after the Ballon d'Or frontrunner picked up a hamstring injury. Les Bleus went on to win the clash 2-0.  

Another report from Hawkins claims that Dembele has been ruled out of action for six weeks and the French star will miss his club's Champions League opener against Atalanta and key Ligue 1 fixture against rivals Marseille. Doue, on the other hand, has been ruled out of action for the Atalanta game.

Dembele's injury left PSG fuming as they had earlier warned the national team medical staff over protecting the winger, as the European champions knew that Dembele was fatigued and playing under such conditions would have made him susceptible to a fitness issue.

Didier Deschamps' side will be back in action on September 9 as they face Iceland in their second World Cup qualifying game.
