Désiré Doué (20, attacking midfielder) is expected to be part of Paris Saint-Germain’s squad for the trip to Strasbourg, according to Le Parisien. Ousmane Dembélé (28) is returning to form in training and could return, while Bradley Barcola (23) remains a doubt ahead of a final test scheduled for Thursday.
✅ Désiré Doué should be in the squad to face Strasbourg!
✅ Dembele has regained some good form since touching the ball again, and his inclusion in the Paris squad to face Strasbourg is not out of the question. A decision will be made on Thursday.
❓Barcola will test himself on Thursday. In the squad to face Strasbourg? A decision will be made based on his feelings and those of Kvaratskhelia, who played 159 minutes for Georgia.”
Désiré Doué’s return is more than just good news: it’s a breath of fresh air for the entire Parisian team. Dazzling during the previous campaign, the young prodigy conquered the Parc des Princes with his technical accuracy and ability to break through the lines with the ball at his feet. In his absence, PSG often lacked unpredictability between the lines. Doué is that spark that transforms sterile possession into dangerous action.
Luis Enrique has often described him as “the silent accelerator,” capable of changing the tempo without forcing it. His return therefore offers the Spanish coach a welcome depth of choice ahead of a series of decisive matches. At 20, the Breton already has the look of a key player, and his influence could weigh heavily in the French champions’ autumn revival.
