Ousmane Dembélé is desperate to return to action — but PSG’s medical team is hitting the brakes. The winger, recovering from a quadriceps injury, is eyeing the Club World Cup as a golden opportunity to boost his Ballon d’Or chances. But not everyone at the club shares his urgency.
Frustration behind the scenes
According to L’Équipe, a heated exchange reportedly broke out between Dembélé and a fitness coach during training. The 27-year-old was accused of overexerting himself — pushing through sprints and high-intensity drills ahead of schedule. The staff fears a relapse, and is refusing to rush his return.
All eyes on Seattle
Dembélé, who has already scored 33 goals this season, sees the Club World Cup — especially in the absence of rivals like Lamine Yamal — as the perfect stage to shine. His teammates are said to back him, but Luis Enrique remains cautious: “He’s progressing well, but we won’t take unnecessary risks.”
A final decision is expected within hours… and Dembélé is still pushing.
