Ousmane Dembélé, 28, did not take part in training on Sunday, August 10. The PSG forward was sidelined due to illness, but his participation in the UEFA Super Cup against Tottenham does not appear to be in jeopardy, according to L’Équipe.
Without Ousmane
“PSG’s players continued their training at the Poissy Campus, but without Ousmane Dembélé on the pitch. Suffering from a viral syndrome, the French international was unable to train on Sunday. He could return to full training at the start of the week and be included in the squad travelling to Udine on Wednesday (9 p.m.) to face Tottenham in the UEFA Super Cup. That is the current expectation.”
Coming back from the summer break is always tricky. The body needs time to adjust, and even professional players can feel the effects: intense fatigue, a mild virus, or other physical setbacks. PSG’s coaching staff and Luis Enrique are applying a clear rule — no unnecessary risks. A sensible approach that should see Dembélé quickly return to full fitness.
