Paris Saint-Germain

Nice

It's another major setback for PSG this Saturday. Ousmane Dembélé is injured once again. The Frenchman has spoken out.

After PSG's 1-0 victory over OGC Nice on matchday 11 of Ligue 1, Luis Enrique addressed the media in a press conference. He commented on Ousmane Dembélé's substitute appearance, with the winger featuring on the Parc des Princes pitch for the final fifteen minutes. The coach noted, "We have to stay calm and monitor how he feels. Whether he plays ten or twenty minutes, he's impressive, and we're happy to see his progress."

Indeed, the 2025 Ballon d'Or contender is gradually returning from a hamstring injury suffered against Ukraine last September while on duty with Les Bleus. However, after the match against Nice, Ousmane Dembélé expressed serious concern about his fitness: "My hamstring hurts. It hurts too much," he confided to his teammates as they celebrated the win.
