Désiré Doué to be preferred to Ousmane Dembélé in France starting line-up against Belgium? Désiré Doué (21) could replace Ousmane Dembélé (29) in France’s starting line-up for tomorrow evening’s match against Belgium, according to reports in L’Équipe. Whilst Zinédine Zidane has announced that he will be making changes to the team that beat Turkey (0-1) two days ago, the 2025 Ballon d’Or winner could be directly affected by this reshuffle. This decision would be in line with the new France manager’s desire to give the Paris Saint-Germain striker a rest. When asked at a press conference about managing his fitness – an issue that has previously been a source of misunderstandings between the national team and PSG – Zidane sought to be transparent. “We’re managing it; we’re discussing it with the player. He’s fine and happy to be here. He might even play all four matches,” he said. “That’s not what we’re going to do (laughs). I’m just giving you a tip there (laughs).” Starting against Turkey, Dembélé played almost the entire match, proving instrumental in setting up the opening goal – and the only one of the match – scored by Kylian Mbappé (27).
