PSG Injuries: Doué & Dembélé – Impact on Barça, Clasico?

The PSG season does not really start as the European champion would have imagined. Two fundamental elements of the workforce, desired Doué and Ousmane Dembélé, are already on the side less than a month after the resumption of hostilities. The first, Victim of a tear of the right calf soloaire, should miss the next month of competition when the top scorer of last season, who suffers from a tear of the right right legs, is on the side for six to eight weeks depending on the information unveiled by AFP. The examinations carried out this Saturday overall confirmed what Paris feared.

We will have to compose without them. If there are never really good moments to injure yourself, even if it is still necessary to avoid the end of the season when everything is played, these two setbacks fall bad while Paris will face the first important sequence of its season. In two months, until the next international truce, serious things will resume in Ligue 1 and in the Champions League. The men of Luis Enrique will face, among other things, in chronological order the Atalanta Bergamo, OM, Barça, Lille, Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich. Goutout will miss the first three shocks and Dembélé, if his absence stretches over two months, all of these.

Paris will have to manage without the two best offensive elements of 2025 which still weigh, this year, 39 goals and 21 assists. In its misfortune, PSG can count on the depth of its workforce to remedy it. Will Gonçalo Ramos have a more important role in playing him that started only one Champions League match last year? This is a possibility but Bradley Barcola can also be required to occupy the axis.

On the right, Paris failed, this summer, to find a winger capable of playing the supporting roles. Kang-in Lee could be this one even if his last season did not really convince. Barcola and Khvicha KVaratskhelia should still leave holders in the big PSG matches on the two wings. Luis Enrique will have fewer solutions and will necessarily exhibit more those who will be there. However, if the injuries are part of the game, it is not just a matter of bad luck. PSG played a lot last year, 65 times to be precise, and was not entitled to any preparation to start this new exercise.

After completing their season on July 13, the competition resumed on August 13 with only a week of leg training. Rhythms that expose players to injuries, mainly muscular like those suffered by gifted and Dembélé. Two examples that recall that the risk grows as the seasons are extended and that the recovery/preparation beaches jump. Paris pays it dear at the end of this summer.
