Désiré Doué Suffers Dental Injury After Frattesi Collision

Désiré Doué suffered a painful dental injury during France’s 3–1 defeat to Italy in the Nations League at San Siro.

The Paris Saint-Germain forward was caught in the face by Davide Frattesi during the second half, leaving one of his front teeth visibly displaced.

Doué Receives Treatment on the Pitch

The incident occurred around the 69th minute shortly after Italy had taken the lead.

Doué went down immediately and held his mouth as medical staff came onto the pitch to assess him. Reports indicated that an incisor had been moved out of its normal alignment, with the player also suffering bleeding from the mouth.

Despite the injury, the 21-year-old initially returned to the field and continued playing.

Substituted Shortly Afterwards

Doué managed to remain on the pitch for several minutes after receiving treatment before eventually being replaced by fellow France and PSG youngster Senny Mayulu in the 77th minute.

France ultimately went on to lose 3–1, making it a difficult evening for the young forward.

Zidane Provides an Update

France manager Zinédine Zidane later addressed the incident and suggested that Doué had suffered a displaced tooth.

The manager indicated that the medical team would take care of the player following the match, although further assessment would be needed to determine the extent of the dental injury.

A Painful End to the Night

Doué had started the match for France but was unable to finish after the collision.

The immediate priority will be his recovery and the necessary dental treatment. France are scheduled to face Türkiye in their next Nations League fixture, meaning Doué’s availability will be closely monitored.

The incident added another difficult moment to France’s night in Milan, with the team suffering a 3–1 defeat to Italy and Doué leaving the pitch with a visibly damaged tooth.

For Doué, the focus now turns to recovery and treatment after a painful night in San Siro.
