Luis Enrique wanted to be reassuring on Monday, on the eve of the clash against Bayern Munich. Asked about Ousmane Dembélé, who complained to Achraf Hakimi about his thigh after the victory against Nice on Saturday, the Spanish coach had in fact assured that his player was fit to play against Bayern Munich.
“He is in good condition, he has done all the training in recent weeks, he participated in the last two matches, and has improved his physical condition. He’s going to play tomorrow of course, I don’t know how many minutes but he’s ready for this match.”he confided.
The Spanish technician was not bluffing. Because while Ousmane Dembélé seemed to have to start on the bench, the former Rennais was even established at the forefront of the attack to face Bayern Munich. Alas, after only 25 minutes, the Ballon d’Or, who had thought he had equalized a few moments earlier, was left without having to leave.
Ousmane Dembélé hit this time in the calf
But according to Luis Enrique, his exit has nothing to do with the thigh discomfort that the French world champion complained about this weekend. “For Ousmane, this injury has nothing to do with the last injury, said the Parisian coach at a press conference. But he played for the time you saw, he said at a press conference. We have to wait until tomorrow (Wednesday) to see after the exams what exactly this injury is. »
More than the thigh, this time it would be the calf which would be affected, according to L’Equipe. And if he was replaced by Kang-In Lee and returned directly to the locker room, it was trotting that the Parisian number 11 rushed into the corridors of the Parc des Princes.
