This Friday evening, PSG is sad and angry. Sad because the international evening led to two injured from the French team and a more surprising, in Spain. Luis Enrique fell by bicycle and broke the collarbone. Hospitalized in his country, he should undergo an operation this Saturday and his recovery will require a lot of time.
Some leaders were able to join him this Friday evening. The coach said he was especially upset for his daily work, he who spares his hours at campus. He will also have to think of his rehabilitation.
But there was a lot of anger also on all floors of the management of the capital’s club where we are talking about “disrespectful” management of the Ousmane Dembélé case. The 2018 world champion entered the break from Ukraine-France (0-2) this Friday in Poland, in place of Désiré Doué, victim, he suddenly at the right calf.
The favorite of the Ballon d’Or 2025 could not finish the game, also forced to give way to the 80th, by touching the back of the right thigh. The attacker walked very slowly and grimacted, aware that he will probably miss important PSG deadlines.
The European champions receive the Atalanta of Bergamo on September 17 for the start of the Champions League before going to Marseille on Sunday September 21 in the league. Previously, PSG-Lens, on September 14, will have succeeded the international sequence and this window of two meetings. Tuesday, Didier Deschamps’ men face Iceland at the Parc des Princes.
“It can happen to someone who has nothing before”
If the two Parisian attackers should ignore this reception, it is above all the situation of Ousmane Dembélé who worries. Gifted, “felt a small progressive tension on a calf,” says Didier Deschamps who adds: “I don’t think it’s too bad. We will have to check. ”
Asked about Dembouz, he wanted to be very clear, refuting the slightest lightness of his staff or himself with the top Parisian scorer of last season. “There was no risk otherwise I would not have brought him in, blows the boss of the A. Unfortunately for Ousmane, who was healed and who felt good, it fired. It is the other thigh (than Toulouse). He didn’t feel a violent thing. He was in good dispositions. It can happen to someone who has nothing before. The medical situation, what he felt, there was not the slightest apprehension or anything. ”
The Basque technician himself evokes it: Ousmane Dembélé had not been able to finish the championship meeting in Toulouse (3-6) on Saturday 30 August. He had spent on Sunday an MRI whose result was not leaked.
Since the start of the rally on September 1, he had been training apart from the group, with the physical trainer of the selection, Cyril Moine. It was the latter that he heard it this Friday evening at the break under the vigilant eye of Guy Stéphan, the assistant of the coach. The native of Evreux had only joined collective training this Thursday, on the eve of the start of the playoffs. “He felt good, we did everything we needed this week, medical and then on the player’s feeling too,” adds DD. If there had been the slightest apprehension or anything, I would have left it alone and I would have brought another player. “It’s completely crazy to have played it,” we breathe in the PSG corridors. A communication is scheduled for this Saturday between the two medical staff, that of the Blues and that of PSG.
