Ousmane Dembélé and Bradley Barcola have officially pulled out of the France squad. The announcement, made via social media, comes just before their UEFA Nations League third-place play-off against Germany this Sunday afternoon.
Both Paris Saint-Germain players are sidelined with injuries preventing their participation in international duties. Dembélé is dealing with a quadriceps issue, while Barcola is reportedly suffering from a knee problem that will prevent him from featuring against Germany.
Potential Impact on PSG`s Club World Cup Campaign
This development poses a potential setback for PSG, who are preparing for the FIFA Club World Cup starting June 15th. Their first match in the tournament is scheduled against Atlético Madrid. According to reports from L’Équipe, Dembélé`s quadriceps injury is expected to keep him out of the initial two games of the competition. Barcola`s availability for the tournament is currently unclear.
