PSG travels this Wednesday to the San Mamés Stadium to face Athletic Bilbao (9 PM, Canal+), as part of the 6th matchday of the 2025-2026 Champions League. And while the Parisian club arrives significantly weakened, a surprise could well emerge from this fog: the possible return of Désiré Doué.
For Luis Enrique, the bad news keeps piling up. Le Parisien reveals several major uncertainties: Ousmane Dembélé, Lucas Chevalier, and thus Doué remain cases to monitor. In addition, there is the suspension of Lucas Hernandez and the ongoing doubt surrounding Nuno Mendes.
Ousmane Dembélé is the most fragile: suffering from the flu, the 28-year-old winger was bedridden this Monday, far from his teammates who were training at the PSG Campus. His presence in Bilbao will depend on a quick recovery.

In goal, Lucas Chevalier may once again give way to Matveï Safonov. The young French goalkeeper is still suffering from persistent pain and is not at 100% of his abilities. The Russian could therefore make a second consecutive start.
But the ray of hope comes from Désiré Doué
The 20-year-old attacking midfielder, who was thought to be still too short, has regained his sensations and trained normally. No more discomfort, a revitalized face… and growing optimism within the staff. To the point that a return to the squad in Bilbao is no longer just a hypothesis, but a real possibility.
In a decimated PSG, this surprise return could come at the best time.
On the eve of a decisive meeting in the Champions League, Paris is now awaiting the latest medical signals. The verdict is coming soon… and Doué could well be the unexpected good news of the trip.
