Ousmane Dembélé, the 28-year-old Paris Saint-Germain forward, was forced to come off during Saturday night’s game against Toulouse (Matchday 3 of Ligue 1), despite starting the match. The issue appeared to be a muscular problem, which has since been confirmed but is not considered serious enough by the French national team staff to rule him out of the upcoming international break. This was reported by RMC Sport.
“After coming off with discomfort in his hamstrings during the match in Toulouse, Ousmane Dembélé arrived as normal today in Yvelines. A medical check was carried out, and the forward is indeed dealing with discomfort in his left hamstring. He will follow an adapted program but remains part of the France squad.”
Overall, this is relatively good news, as it means Dembélé is not dealing with a major injury. Even though a bit of rest might have been welcomed after this muscular warning sign, the medical staff knows their job, and their decision must be trusted
