On the eve of the clash between Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich, we know more about the situation of Ousmane Dembélé, still hampered by his right thigh.
At this stage of the season, it’s not so bad. For the shock at the top of the 4th day of the Champions League, Paris Saint-Germain should only have two absentees against Bayern Munich on Tuesday evening. These are Désiré Doué, the only injured, and Ilya Zabarnyi, suspended after the red card received in Leverkusen the previous day.
And Ousmane Dembélé then? Uncertainty reigned around the Ballon d’Or, who complained of pain in his right thigh (again) after the victory against Nice (1-0) on Saturday.
Preserved during Sunday’s training, present alongside his teammates this Monday, the Parisian number 10 will be in the group for Bayern. This was assured by Luis Enrique when asked if he would take a risk with his striker on Tuesday.
Dembélé will play
“I never take any risks, with any player, replied the Spanish technician. Ousmane is in good condition, he did all the training during the last two weeks, he participated in the last two matches, he improved his condition, and tomorrow (Tuesday), he will play. But we will decide tomorrow how long…”
Dembélé has only started once in four matches since his injury. According to RMC, his thigh injury is more of a discomfort that worries him, and that the PSG medical staff must manage. The most likely remains that the Ballon d’Or will start on the bench Tuesday evening against Bayern.
