If he was present at training on Sunday, the day after the victory against Nice, Ousmane Dembélé should not start the match against Bayern Munich on Tuesday.
D-1 before the big shock against Bayern Munich. And on the eve of the meeting with the Bavarian giant in the Champions League, uncertainty remains regarding Ousmane Dembélé, still hampered by pain in his right thigh.
“My ischio hurts, I’m in too much pain”had entrusted the former Barcelona player to Achraf Hakimi, Saturday evening, while the Parisians saluted the Auteuil corner after their victory snatched at the last minute against Nice, on behalf of the 10e day of Ligue 1.
The Ballon d’Or had only played 18 minutes against the Aiglons and had not forced himself, seeming incapable of accelerating. Starting three days earlier against Lorient, the native of Evreux had already complained on his return from Brittany of pain in the hamstring of his right thigh. But according to L’Equipe, the examinations carried out did not reveal any lesions.
Ousmane Dembélé on the bench against Bayern
However, true to form, Luis Enrique did not want to take the slightest risk with his star striker and therefore decided to put him back on the bench for the visit of Nice. And it should be the same on Tuesday for the clash against Bayern Munich in the Champions League. And this despite the absence of Désiré Doué, on the sidelines for several weeks.
To face Bayern, Luis Enrique should line up Bradley Barcola and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia on the sides while Senny Mayulu and Gonçalo Ramos, scorer against Nice, are in balance to play at the forefront of the attack.
