PSG Injuries Sideline Dembele Six Weeks, Doue Four Weeks

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) faces significant injury setbacks with forwards Ousmane Dembele and Desire Doue both sidelined due to injuries sustained during France’s recent World Cup qualifying match against Ukraine. Dembele suffered a serious right hamstring injury that will keep him out for up to six weeks, while Doue sustained a right calf strain expected to sideline him for around four weeks. These injuries come just before PSG’s Champions League title defense begins, impacting key upcoming matches against Atalanta, Olympique de Marseille, and FC Barcelona. PSG has expressed frustration toward France’s management of the players during the international break, particularly over Dembele’s injury. Additionally, PSG head coach Luis Enrique recently suffered a fractured collarbone from a cycling accident and will require surgery. These developments present challenges for PSG as they navigate a demanding schedule early in the season.
