PSG Stars Sidelined: Champions League Squad Hit by Injuries
10 Dec
Summary
- Ousmane Dembélé is sick, missing the Champions League match.
- Lucas Chevalier recovers from an ankle injury, absent from the squad.
- Achraf Hakimi is also out with a sprained ankle, facing recovery race.
Paris Saint-Germain faces a significant challenge in their upcoming Champions League fixture against Athletic Bilbao, with star forward Ousmane Dembélé and goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier ruled out. Dembélé is reportedly ill, marking another setback for the player who has recently battled calf and hamstring injuries. Chevalier remains unavailable as he continues his recovery from a right ankle injury sustained in a previous match.
Further complicating PSG's lineup is the absence of right back Achraf Hakimi, who is nursing a sprained left ankle. His recovery is being closely monitored as he aims to be fit for the Africa Cup of Nations. However, there is some positive news as Désiré Doué has rejoined the squad after overcoming a muscle strain in his right thigh.
Matvei Safonov is expected to take his place in goal in Chevalier's absence. PSG, last season's Champions League winners, currently sit second in their group, trailing leaders Arsenal by three points with five games played. The team will need to navigate these absences effectively to maintain their strong position in the competition.
