The head coach of the French national team, Didier Deschamps, commented on the injuries of Desire Doue and Ousmane Dembele and PSG's anger at the coaching staff:

"What happened, happened. I am very sad about O. Dembele and D. Doue's injuries because we lost two players for tomorrow's match.”

"The PSG team is not our opponents, even if we have a conflict of interest. The medical protocol is not my responsibility.”

After the last "Les Bleus” match, PSG executives were unhappy that Ousmane Dembele did not receive enough rest.
