Monaco v PSG: Dembélé set to start despite discomfort felt at Rennes? | OneFootball

Ousmane Dembélé (28 years old), forward for Paris Saint-Germain, felt discomfort in his calf during the last match against Rennes. According to Arthur Perrot, RMC Sport, he tested himself on the eve of the Monaco-PSG match at the Louis-II stadium and was feeling good when returning to the hotel. He is expected to be in the starting lineup.

The signal sent is rather reassuring: it is not a withdrawal, but a monitored discomfort, with a successful test one day before the match. According to the information, Dembélé is announced to start for the first leg in Monaco, with only one logical reservation: the risk management by Luis Enrique, who may choose to preserve him for the return leg if any doubt persists. In this kind of decisive match, the equation is simple and cold: having Dembélé, yes, but especially having him at "full capacity" for the two-legged tie. And the most concrete indication so far is this: the player was able to test himself at the Louis-II stadium and ended the day with good sensations.
