Official – PSG give update on injuries to Doué and Dembélé

Paris Saint-Germain is set to take a double hit after the international break. Having been taken off against Ukraine, Ousmane Dembélé (28 years old) has a severe lesion of the right hamstring and will be out for about six weeks. Désiré Doué (19 years old), who was injured in the calf during the same match, will miss about four weeks according to the official medical report from the club.

"- Injured during the Ukraine - France match on Friday, Ousmane Dembélé has a severe lesion of the right hamstring. His unavailability is estimated to be about six weeks. - Also injured during this match, Désiré Doué has a lesion in the right calf and should be sidelined for about four weeks."

We have to accept it. These are two injuries that come at a bad time, but PSG has the weapons to continue its progress. It's part of football, sometimes players get injured, other times players emerge. Warren Zaïre-Emery was a starter last year before his injury, then Fabian Ruiz stepped up in the team by replacing him.

It's not ideal to lose two players of this caliber, but this is also where we will see PSG's strategy of having a small squad. Injuries can be anticipated, that's what Luis Enrique thinks and so, we will see a PSG with other qualities, other flaws. We hope that both players will recover quickly.
