Bradley Barcola (PSG)
October 2025
PSG and the French Football Federation are in open conflict after Bradley Barcola withdrew from France duty with a hamstring injury. The FFF claimed it stemmed from a Champions League game, angering PSG who dispute that version and accuse the federation of breaching medical confidentiality.
PSG insists the injury was recent and not chronic, rejecting the FFF’s statement. This follows disputes in September over injuries to Ousmane Dembélé and Désiré Doué. PSG see the latest communication as shifting blame, while the FFF argues it followed standard practice in explaining player withdrawals. The row highlights growing distrust, with PSG noting only two of their players were called up this break, down from five in September.
