Ousmane Dembélé, the 28-year-old Paris Saint-Germain forward, had to leave the field during Tuesday night’s Champions League match against Bayern Munich. More information was expected. The same was true for Achraf Hakimi, the 27-year-old right-back, who suffered an ankle injury. RMC Sport provided details on Wednesday.
“No fracture for Achraf Hakimi. Severe sprain. Damaged medial ligaments in his left ankle. Out for 6-8 weeks.
Ousmane Dembélé has a calf injury. He will not play on Sunday against Lyon. He is unavailable for the French national team.”
This is not yet an official statement, but it would be surprising if the journalist were to make such precise claims without solid evidence. We’re still waiting for an official statement for any certainty, especially regarding the exact duration of the absences, which always depends somewhat on the players and how they feel.
We can still hope for a relatively pleasant surprise, even if things aren’t looking good. At least Dembélé might be back after the break.
