PSG denies France's medical report on Barcola

However, PSG has denied the player is unfit, pointing to his appearance in their recent Ligue 1 fixture.

"The information published in the Federation's press release does not align whatsoever with the medical information provided by PSG's medical staff," the capital club stated in a press release.

This new disagreement between PSG and the national team follows another dispute a month prior, concerning injuries to Ousmane Dembele and Desire Doue.

At that time, PSG had stated it provided the FFF with information regarding the medical condition of both players before the match against Ukraine.

Both players were fielded in that match, and their ailments worsened, according to the club, which urgently called for "a more transparent and collaborative medical-sports coordination protocol between clubs and the national team, prioritising player health."
