Désiré Doué benched twice running as Ferran Torres impresses at PSG | OneFootball

Désiré Doué is navigating a quieter spell at PSG, benched in back-to-back games as Ferran Torres’s bright start could squeeze his minutes.

L'Équipe notes that Luis Enrique’s selections speak loudly, and the message to Doué appears clear.

On Wednesday, the France winger was among the substitutes for the Champions League opener against Slovan Bratislava, a 6-1 win. Marquinhos, Warren Zaïre-Emery, Joao Neves and Khvitcha Kvaratskhelia also began on the bench.

He then came on at Brest on Sunday, but his cameo offered little spark in a narrow 1-0 victory.

The 18-year-old already has 15 caps and 3 goals for France, yet competition for wide roles is intensifying. Whether Ferran Torres’s early impact will significantly curb Doué’s game time remains to be seen.
