PSG left fuming by Ousmane Dembele injury on France duty after sending warning over potential hamstring issue

Dembele, a second half substitute for club colleague Desire Doue, was forced to leave the pitch at the start of the second half after sustaining the complaint. French reporter Fabrice Hawkins has since revealed that Dembele is expected to miss the next six weeks, meaning he will be absent when PSG travel to his former club Barcelona in the Champions League on October 1. Hawkins is also reporting that Doue has left France's squad with a calf problem picked up in the Ukraine victory, with the 20-year-old set to miss PSG's next two games at least against Lens and Atalanta.

Dembele's fresh injury setback has left his club PSG fuming as the Ligue 1 champions have claimed that they had sent a warning to the national team medical staff over protecting the winger, according to L'Equipe.

The report adds that PSG knew that Dembele was fatigued and playing under such conditions would have made him susceptible to an injury. Now that the Ballon d'Or frontrunner has been ruled out of action with the knock, Les Parisiens have expressed their displeasure behind the scenes.

Didier Deschamps' men will be back in action for the national team on September 9 when they face Iceland in their second World Cup qualifying game. Arnar Gunnlaugsson's Iceland defeated Azerbaijan 5-0 in their opening qualification match on Friday.
