The PSG infirmary continues to fill a few days before the Champions League shock against Barça. Already deprived of Ousmane Dembélé, Désiré Doué, Joao Neves and Marquinhos, the Parisians saw Khvicha Kvaratskhelia released as early as half-time on Saturday against Auxerre (2-0), complaining about the left thigh, while Vitinha was replaced by Achraf Hakimi in the 35th minute.
Faced with the press, Luis Enrique tempered concerns: “Unfortunately I can't say anything, it's not positive, but you have to wait for the medical staff tomorrow (Sunday) and the day after tomorrow (Monday) to see what type of injury they have. For Vitinha, we made the change because he noted some problems. I don't want to take any risks with anyone “. The Parisian coach prefers to remain prudent before confirming the extent of the injuries.
As for Ousmane Dembélé, the news is reassuring. The recent winner of the Ballon d'Or progresses in his rehabilitation and is confident for his return. “This is the first part of the season, you have to be in the nails to start the second well. Rehabilitation is going well. I will be back very soon ”he assured on Saturday at the microphone of Ligue 1+.
Ready for mid-October?
Despite this progress, the attacker will not be delivered for the trip to Barcelona. Already decreased at the French team rally after a left thigh injury, Dembélé was then hit in the right thigh during the match against Ukraine (2-0) on September 5.
This new wound had caused the Parisian staff to be anger against that of the Blues. Its duration of unavailability has been estimated at least six weeks, which suggests a return to the field for mid-October.
