France vs Iceland: Lineups, team news, confirmed starting teams as Thuram and Hernandez start in World Cup qualifier
"Ballon d'Or favourite Dembele faces six weeks out with a hamstring injury, while Doue is set to miss around four weeks because of a calf strain. Those injuries prompted an angry response from PSG, who released a statement calling for a "new, more transparent and collaborative medical co-ordination protocol between clubs and the national team to make players' health and medical support a top priority"."
""Everyone is ready and healthy," manager Arnar Gunnlaugsson said of the rest of his squad, via Visir. "The physiotherapists have been working incredibly hard on this trip. "We felt we were well-equipped to deal with these absences. We won't directly change the playing system or anything like that. "But with different players, a different profile often comes into the position that Albert was in. Hopefully, we can take advantage of that.""
