Paris Saint-Germain has called for the establishment of a new sports medical coordination protocol between clubs and the French national team, following the confirmation of injuries to its players Ousmane Dembélé and Désiré Doué while they were with the French national team, which the club described as an incident with significant sporting repercussions for the players and the club.

The club clarified in an official statement that its medical staff provided the French Football Federation with accurate information regarding the players' health status, including permissible training loads and potential injury risks, prior to the start of the national team camp. However, those recommendations were not taken into account, and there was no coordination or consultation between the medical teams of both parties.

Paris Saint-Germain expressed its regret that these medical recommendations were not considered by the medical staff of the French national team, in addition to a complete lack of consultation and communication with the club's medical teams.

The club reaffirmed its commitment to the national team's responsibilities and its role in representing the country, a goal that is shared with everyone. However, it hopes that these unfortunate events will lead to the establishment of a new official framework for medical coordination, ensuring regular, documented, and reciprocal exchanges between the medical teams of clubs and the national team, and enhanced respect for the principle of caution when calling up and using players, especially when they are under treatment or in recovery.

The club concluded by emphasizing that the recent serious and preventable incidents should prompt swift and immediate corrective actions, and expressed its readiness to actively contribute to this collective effort, in the interest of the players and professional football as a whole.
