French international Désiré Doué (21) has been ruled out of Les Bleus’ match against Turkey scheduled for this Sunday evening, the French Football Federation (FFF) have confirmed
His absence is not due to a dental issue – although he did sustain an injury to his tooth during Thursday’s match against Italy – but to tightness in his right hamstring. Kylian Mbappé (27), who missed the match against the Azzurri, is expected to replace him in the line-up selected by Zinedine Zidane.
Having made 14 appearances (11 as a starter) for Paris Saint-Germain and featuring in three of France’s last five matches (three as a starter), Doué – who has been decisive on 12 occasions (six goals, six assists) in all competitions this season – will therefore be able to enjoy a few precious days’ rest before club football resumes.
This is a godsend for the Frenchman, who, with PSG, is set to enter an extremely busy period, with no fewer than seven matches in the space of a month before the winter break – or even eight should Les Rouge et Bleu qualify for the Intercontinental Cup final.
