This Friday evening was marked by several important events in the world of football, including the qualifying for the 2026 World Cup in Africa and a friendly match of the French team against Ukraine. In Africa, Morocco won with a large 5-0 victory over Niger, confirming itself at the top of its group. Egypt also won its match against Ethiopia 2-0, while Côte d’Ivoire took the lead in its band by beating Burundi 1-0. Senegal secured its second place in its group by beating Sudan 2-0.

At the same time, the French team won its friendly match against Ukraine 2-0, but this victory was tarnished by two injuries. Desiré Doué and Ousmané Dembélé had to leave the field due to muscle problems, causing criticism of coach Didier Deschamps’ decision to align them despite their recent physical concerns. Paris Saint-Germain expressed its dissatisfaction with this management, claiming to have warned of the risk of injury.

The situation became more complicated with the injury of Luis Enrique, coach of Paris Saint-Germain, who suffered a broken collarbone after a bike fall. The club expressed support for the coach and promised to keep his supporters informed of his health. The injuries of Doué and Dembélé, combined with Enrique’s, highlight the physical difficulties currently facing Paris Saint-Germain, which could impact the participation of several key players in the upcoming major games.
