Paris Saint‑Germain are expressing renewed optimism regarding Ousmane Dembele’s latest injury, despite a demanding season that has tested the winger’s physical limits. After a brilliant year highlighted by multiple trophies and the Ballon d’Or, Dembele has struggled to maintain full fitness amid a relentless match schedule. Muscle issues have resurfaced throughout the campaign, forcing him to miss fourteen games so far.
His most recent setback came against Monaco in the Champions League, sidelining him for two weeks while PSG secured qualification for the round of sixteen and extended their domestic lead. In his absence, Bradley Barcola stepped up effectively, scoring the decisive goal against Le Havre and offering Luis Enrique a reliable alternative.
Medical tests conducted on Tuesday showed encouraging progress, and the coaching staff believe Dembele could return sooner than expected. Still, PSG remain cautious with key fixtures approaching, including next week’s crucial clash with Chelsea and France’s upcoming international commitments.
