This Wednesday, Paris Saint-Germain (2nd) faces Athletic Bilbao (27th) at the San Mamés Stadium for Matchday 6 of the 2025-2026 Champions League (kick-off at 9 pm, CET). On Tuesday, shortly before the official announcement, RMC Sport reported that Ousmane Dembélé (28-year-old forward) will ultimately be absent due to illness. Lucas Chevalier (24-year-old goalkeeper) is still injured.
Lucas Chevalier and Ousmane Dembélé are not in the squad for Bilbao. The goalkeeper is still experiencing discomfort in his ankle. Ousmane Dembélé is ill.
Désiré Doué returns to the PSG squad”
Dembélé’s flu was mentioned yesterday, then Le Parisien indicated that he should still be in the squad with the hope that he would play this Wednesday. Ultimately, he is expected to be absent. We await the official announcement for certainty amidst these twists and turns. But it’s possible that the player won’t be able to play this match. Of course, this won’t cause the same uproar as Ilya Zabarnyi’s (23-year-old defender) illness on Saturday…
As for Chevalier, the injury continues to highlight how incomprehensible it was that Lamine Camara didn’t receive a card for his tackle during Monaco/PSG. At least Matvey Safonov (26 years old) now has opportunities.
