After Doue: Another PSG star set to miss Bayern showdown | OneFootball

Just before the showdown in the Champions League, bad news is mounting for Paris Saint-Germain. Once again, an injury report is causing unrest in the star ensemble.

Following the already confirmed absence of Désiré Doué, concern is now growing over the next key player. According to information from L’Équipe, Ousmane Dembélé complained of severe thigh pain immediately after the league match against OGC Nice. In a conversation with his teammate Achraf Hakimi, he said: "My thigh hurts, it hurts so much!"

For PSG, the news could hardly come at a worse time. The winger had only recently celebrated his comeback after a long forced break. Previously, a muscle injury in the thigh area had already sidelined the 28-year-old for the entire September and part of October. Now, another setback looms—just a few days before the clash with FC Bayern.

Whether Dembélé will indeed be out is still uncertain. The coming hours are expected to decide his participation. According to French media, the Parisian medical team is closely monitoring the situation and hoping for a green light by Tuesday.

There is no hope for Désiré Doué. The 20-year-old, who was carried off the field injured during the recent league match against FC Lorient, will be missing from PSG for "several weeks," according to the club's official statement. It is therefore certain: the rising star will definitely not be able to participate in the Champions League duel with the German record champions.

The absences could significantly impact PSG's offensive strategy, especially since Bayern is traveling to the French capital in top form. The Munich team is aiming for their 16th competitive win in the 16th match of the season. However, on Tuesday evening (kick-off at 8:45 PM), they will face the current league phase leader of the Champions League in Paris—with just one goal ahead of the German record champions in second place.
