PSG suffer double injury blow as two stars set to miss time

PSG sit first in Ligue 1 early in the season, but Luis Enrique will be forced to play without two key attackers for the coming weeks. 

Ousmane Dembele and Desire Doue both came off with injuries in France’s match against Ukraine. 

Dembele suffered a serious hamstring injury, with PSG reportedly furious that France manager Didier Deschamps played Dembele. 

Doue came off at halftime with a strain in his calf and will also miss time. 

How long will Dembele and Doue be out for?

PSG’s website confirmed the injuries to both players and gave an estimated time that the pair would be back.

Dembele’s injury is more serious, and the Ballon d’Or favorite is expected to miss at least six weeks. 

Doue will be out for at least four weeks.

The pair will miss PSG’s first league game back from the international break against Lens. 

Both players will also miss PSG’s Champions League opener against Atalanta on September 17, and Le Classique against Marseille four days later. 

If Dembele does miss the full six weeks, the Frenchman will miss PSG’s trip to Barcelona on October 1.
