Désiré Doué suffers a dental injury vs. Italy.

A blow near the gum is the kind of injury that follows you past the final whistle. L’Équipe reports that Davide Frattesi’s elbow struck Désiré Doué near the gum during France’s 3-1 loss to Italy on Thursday, damaging one of his incisors. After the match, Zinedine Zidane said he thought a tooth had shifted and that the team would look after Doué the next day. L’Équipe later described the injury as a dental luxation and reported that Doué was scheduled to see a dentist at noon Friday. The first account was tentative; the later report gave the injury a name and the next step.
