According to the Daily Sports Daily, due to torn right leg hamstring, Dembele will miss the Champions League stage game against his old owner Barcelona on October 1.
Entering the new season, Dembele suffered from injuries, which reminds people of the difficulties he encountered in Barcelona. Dembele has suffered three consecutive muscle injuries, which has affected his performance on the field. In the Club World Cup, his playing time is also very limited. After missing the group stage game, he didn't make his debut until the 1/8 final against Messi's Miami International.
In Ligue 1, Dembele's performance also flashed. In the match against Toulouse on August 30, he was replaced due to injury. At first, these discomforts were not serious, but he was then selected to the French national team for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. Deschamps did not let him rest, but instead let him play as a substitute in the match against Ukraine on September 5, but he left the court again only 25 minutes later due to pain on the back of the thigh.
Preliminary medical report said that Dembele's right leg hamstring was torn and it is expected to take one and a half months to recover. There will be no miracle in his recovery process, so he will not be able to compete in the Champions League match between Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain on October 1.
Demberle's recovery is still in progress, but the Paris Saint-Germain's medical team will not rush to get him back. Given his injury history and a difficult start to the season, the club considers caution necessary. Not long ago, Paris Saint-Germain coach Enrique also said that he would rather wait for Dembele to recover completely than risk him to make a comeback, so this could cause his old injury to relapse.
If confirmed to be absent, Dembele will not play against his old club Barcelona at Montphic Stadium. The two teams have already played once in the quarterfinals of the 2023-24 season, in which Araujo was sent off with a red card, and Enrique celebrated his team's victory. Dembele has performed well at home and away games, scoring goals and giving an assist in every game.
