“Two of my players sustained injuries from training yesterday, We’re really in trouble now”: PSG coach Luis Enrique cries out after another TWO PSG players sustained injury yesterday
Paris Saint-Germain are sweating over the fitness of Ousmane Dembele ahead of their Champions League semi-final second leg against Arsenal.
Dembele scored the only goal at the Emirates on Tuesday night, beating David Raya inside four minutes, as PSG took a slender lead back to Paris for next week’s decider.
However, Dembele was forced off during the second half and has subsequently been unable to train.
PSG are next in action this weekend against Strasbourg, though with the league title already wrapped up there is no pressure to field a full-strength team and risk players before the visit of the Gunners.
RMC Sport report that Dembele sat out the training session on Thursday as a precaution and is now considered a doubt to face Liam Rosenior’s side.
L’Equipe add that Dembele will be monitored over the coming days but is not currently set to undergo scans.
Speaking after the win on Tuesday, Dembele told reporters: “I felt a little something, but it’s okay.”
Enrique added: “It’s not serious, it’s something very minor, but he’s probably a doubt for the second leg.
“We’re going to try to get Dembele back on the pitch. If Ousmane can play, that’s better, nut if he doesn’t, we’ll still be a real team. We’ve been saying that since the start of the season.”
