Ousmane Dembélé is indeed injured… but PSG are not overly concerned. His absence is not expected to last very long.
Starting against Monaco (3-2) despite a warning during training, Ousmane Dembélé lasted only 27 minutes. Suffering from discomfort in his left calf, the PSG forward was forced to leave the pitch early.
Encouraging Signs After Initial Injury Scare
Fears of a muscle tear quickly spread. In the end, the first updates have been reassuring. The swelling observed after the match reportedly decreased significantly by Wednesday morning, according to L’Équipe.
According to L’Équipe, the French international remains confident, although medical tests still need to confirm the diagnosis. Missing the return fixture against Monaco remains a possibility. Dembélé could also sit out matches against Metz and Le Havre. However, a comeback within around ten days is being targeted.
Luis Enrique insisted that he took “no risks.” Still, this is not the first warning sign of the season. Enough to raise real questions about the physical management of PSG’s number 10.
