A French press report confirmed that the French national team will lose one of its stars in the next match against Portugal on Wednesday.
Next Wednesday, France and Portugal will meet in a decisive match in the third round of the group stage of the European Nations Cup "Euro 2020".
Dembele who only came on as a substitute in Saturday’s draw with Hungary, had to be taken late off after picking up a problem, and was replaced by Thomas Lemar.
According to the French newspaper, L'Equipe, Dembele will miss the France-Portugal match due to his knee tendon injury that would require further testing.
The newspaper added that the medical examinations will determine the player’s medical absence, as he could also be unavailable for the last 16 if France national team qualified.
The French national team expected to play in one of the days of June 27, 28 or 29, if it has qualified for the quarter-finals.
