According to RMC Sport journalist Fabrice Hawkins, Ousmane Dembélé may begin on the bench when Paris Saint-Germain host OGC Nice at Parc des Princes this afternoon. The Ballon d’Or winner experienced some mild discomfort during PSG’s 1-1 draw against FC Lorient earlier this week, prompting caution.
As a result, no risks will be taken, and Dembélé might not start. This could mean that Senny Mayulu will once again lead the attack for his boyhood club.
PSG will also be without Désiré Doué, who was injured midweek, but the overall injury situation has improved. However, Fabián Ruiz might not be fit enough to start against Les Aiglons. Despite the previous squad rotation against Les Merlus, coach Luis Enrique plans to field a strong lineup for this match.
