Ousmane Dembélé will have to remain far from the grounds after his tear in the hamstrings of the right thigh suffered in early September with the French team. His convalescence, estimated between six and eight weeks, is a real blow for PSG, which counted on his star attacker and recent golden ball for his next deadlines.
Pierre Ménès looked into this file and does not hide his questions. “Even if it bothers PSG, these six weeks of stopping will allow him to make a cool price. He will be much more efficient when he returns from injury. The club will not take any risks. But can Dembélé once again have the effectiveness he had last year? »»
Seasons at more than 30 goals
“I have a little doubt”adds the consultant before detailing the Dembélé case. “The goal he puts in Arsenal with a home pole shows that it was his year and that he could not happen to him. You have to see if he is able to chain the seasons to more than 30 goals. This will also overcome the incredible number of goals scored by Kylian Mbappé »continues Ménès.
For PSG, the urgency is to manage this absence while hoping that Dembélé quickly regains his rhythm and regularity. The striker only played three Ligue 1 games this season for two goals scored in the broad victory against Toulouse (6-3). With the approaching World Cup, French should also be efficient to consolidate its statistics.
