Dembélé remains at the dock

Paris Saint-Germain will not be able to count on Ousmane Dembélé on Friday evening against Strasbourg. The player was hit in the thigh.

Since arriving at Paris Saint-Germain, Ousmane Dembélé has participated in practically all of the club’s matches in Ligue 1. Seventeen out of nineteen, a performance for a player who had the reputation of being physically fragile. On the bench at the kick-off of last Sunday’s match against Brest (2-2), the former FC Barcelona player will this time be absent on Friday, during a trip to Strasbourg.

The capital club published this Thursday the list of players included in the group concocted by Luis Enrique, and Ousmane Dembélé does not appear there. Paris explained that his player felt a little discomfort in one thigh, although he participated in today’s training session. It will therefore remain at the dock for this trip to Alsace.

Since wearing the PSG jersey, the French international has participated in twenty-three matches, in all competitions. He offered eight assists (including seven in the league), but only scored one very small goal.
