Another nightmare for PSG! Dembélé faces three weeks out after Barcelona injury
Paris Saint-Germain's injury crisis is getting worse! Ousmane Dembélé has received worrying news following his early departure against Barcelona. The French superstar could now spend several weeks on the sidelines, creating another major problem for Luis Enrique.
Details: According to Le Parisien, Dembélé could be unavailable for up to three weeks after suffering a left hamstring injury during PSG's 4-2 Champions League victory over Barcelona on October 20. The forward experienced discomfort around the 19th minute and requested a substitution, with Ferran Torres replacing him. Medical examinations have ruled out a more serious injury, but the 2025 Ballon d'Or winner still requires rest. PSG have not announced an exact return date.
The timing is especially frustrating because Dembélé had recently returned to excellent form. After receiving additional rest during the international break, he scored against Manchester City and Strasbourg. His latest setback interrupts that momentum just as PSG enter another demanding period.
Luis Enrique is also dealing with serious injuries to Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Marquinhos. The Georgian winger suffered an ACL tear and faces a lengthy recovery, while the Brazilian defender has a right thigh injury. PSG must now prepare for important domestic and European fixtures without several regular starters.
Dembélé's situation could also affect France. The national team face Italy and Turkey in the Nations League on November 12 and 15. With his estimated recovery period approaching those dates, participation remains uncertain.
It's worth noting that the three week absence is an estimate from Le Parisien, not a confirmed recovery deadline. Further medical assessments will determine when Dembélé can resume training and competitive matches.
Reminder: Blow for Enrique! PSG leader injured in first half against Barcelona.
