Overview

• France beat Iceland 2-1 at the Parc des Princes, with Kylian Mbappé equalising from the spot before setting up Bradley Barcola after an early Michael Olise error gifted Iceland the opener.
• The win gives France six points from two qualifiers, though Aurélien Tchouaméni’s red card means he will be suspended for the next match.
• PSG has demanded a new, transparent medical coordination protocol with the FFF after the injuries to Ousmane Dembélé and Désiré Doué, while Didier Deschamps defended his staff and procedures as the Parc crowd booed him and Adrien Rabiot.
• Dembélé is expected to be sidelined for about six weeks and Doué until the end of the month, further thinning France’s attacking options.
• The FFF has scheduled this autumn’s home qualifiers at the Parc des Princes due to uncertainty over the Stade de France concession.
