Dembele, according to 'Sport', will not play in France's game against Denmark on Sunday. The Barcelona winger is suffering from calf problems and Deschamps has no plans to force him, a relief for Xavi, who has already seen Ronald Araujo and Jules Koeman sidelined during the international break.
The 'FIFA virus' has hit Barça. It is not over yet and the team has already seen the return of Ronald Araujo and Jules Kounde. The former was injured with Uruguay and the latter with France. The club confirmed the injuries of both.
Ousmane Dembele is also a concern. There was speculation that he might leave the training camp with 'Les Bleus', but in the end it looks like that will not be the case.
The Frenchman suffered calf discomfort during the match against Austria. Didier Deschamps does not intend to force the player.
'Sport' claims that Dembele will not play in France's match against Denmark. The coach believes the Barcelona winger should be rested.
On Saturday, Deschamps said that Ousmane Dembele had to train on the sidelines. The coach will be cautious and, in principle, does not plan to field him.
Barça rest in relief. The Camp Nou offices are following the international commitments of their players with serious concern. They don't want any more absentees as the season enters an important phase, with the 'Clasico' just around the corner.
