The forward of the French team, Ousmane Dembélé, will be out on Wednesday in the last match of Les Bleus of the group stage of the Eurocup against Portugal. The Barcelona player suffered a knee tendon injury against Hungary and tests have determined that he will not be able to be available for Wednesday's match.
In fact, Dembélé could miss the round of 16 if France ends up qualifying. The French national team would play on Sunday June 27, Monday 28 or Tuesday 29 if they finish qualifying, depending on the position in which they finish in the group stage. According to L'Equipe, the presence of the Rennes youth squad in the second round hangs by a thread.
Although he was not going to start against Portugal, Dembélé's withdrawal is a determining factor for Deschamps. The winger came out yesterday in the second half against Hungary and, before being substituted in the 87th minute due to injury, generated several dangerous arrivals. It is a player profile that the French team does not have and that usually always shakes the games coming from the bench.
