This Sunday, Equipe de France will play in the 3rd place match of the Nations League against Germany at 3pm at the Mercedes-Benz Arena. The match involves 5 Paris Saint-Germain players, all French: Lucas Hernandez, Warren Zaïre-Emery, Désiré Doué, Ousmane Dembélé and Bradley Barcola. RMC Sport reported on Thursday that Dembélé could miss the match after suffering a “muscle strain” yesterday against Spain.
“The striker has a left quadriceps injury. A muscle scare,” explains Les Bleus’ entourage. The PSG player is doubtful for Sunday’s match against Germany (3pm) for third place in the Nations League. He could be excused from training, open to the media, this Friday from 5pm.”
There’s nothing certain yet, but Dembélé is bound to be doubtful at best with a muscle concern with the next match coming up very quickly. Above all, there’s not the slightest risk to be taken for a match like this.
Dembélé has had a long season, so we shouldn’t push too hard. Especially as there’s still the Club World Cup to come, with a little more at stake. Let’s wait and see what we find out about the 28-year-old striker, as we’ve seen that the media can have trouble being precise. We can only hope that the Parisian No. 10 is not seriously injured.
