Désiré Doué suffered no serious aftereffects from the facial impact sustained during France’s defeat in Italy (3-1) on Thursday evening at San Siro. The French Football Federation (FFF) confirmed Friday morning that the PSG winger was doing well and that his tooth was stabilized.

The 21-year-old international was struck by an elbow from Italian Davide Frattesi in the second half. The impact displaced one of his teeth, forcing the French medical staff to intervene urgently. Despite the pain and bleeding mouth, Doué played for a few more minutes before being replaced by Senny Mayulu.

“Désiré Doué is doing well, his tooth is stabilized and he will see a dentist at midday,” the FFF stated in a statement released the day after the match.

The question of his availability for France’s next match remains open. France face Turkey this Sunday in Bordeaux, and the outcome of the dental consultation will determine whether the former Rennes player will be able to participate in the match.
