Ousmane Dembélé to miss Lille as PSG grant short rest until Monday | OneFootball

Ousmane Dembélé, a 2018 World Cup winner, will miss Paris Saint-Germain’s next league match after being granted a short rest.

The club said in a statement that he would rest for a few days and resume training with the squad on Monday. The brief note did not specify the upcoming fixture, but the timing means he will not be involved.

He started Sunday’s 2-2 draw at Rennes and was substituted at half-time. New signing Ferran Torres came on and hauled PSG level with his first two goals.

Dembélé had also featured as a second-half substitute in the Trophée des Champions defeat to Lens, which finished 0-1, and in the UEFA Super Cup win over Aston Villa, which ended 2-1.

Luis Enrique’s side visit Lille on Friday, with kick-off at 20:45, in the second round of Ligue 1.
