PSG vs Metz: Dembélé Injury Update & Team News

The public at the Parc des Princes will not be able to applaud his Ballon d’Or this weekend during the 23rd Day of Ligue 1. For once, the French striker is injured in his left calf. He will therefore be absent from the PSG group for the Metz reception on Saturday evening (9:05 p.m.).

Scorer in the defeat at Rennes (3-1), Ousmane Dembélé had to leave his place at the end of the match, hampered in his left calf. The warning seemed to have been cleared when his name appeared in the starting XI in Monaco in the Champions League during the week. Except that in the 26th minute, the attacker, limping, gave way to Désiré Doué.

Four absent

“Victim of discomfort in his left calf during the match against Monaco, Ousmane Dembélé will carry out work in the gym in the coming days,” confirms a press release from the capital club. A notable absence as the calendar accelerates and the big deadlines arrive.

He will not be the only one absent on Saturday. Fabian Ruiz “has returned to individual training” but is not expected to be present. This is also the case for Senny Mayulu who is continuing his care and Quentin Ndjantou who “has started his care protocol. »

Luis Enrique’s men will look to win against the bottom of the championship. RC Lens, current leader, will have faced Monaco a few hours before and the Parisians will therefore be informed about what is at stake in their meeting against Messins.
