Dembele to miss PSG game against Lille
Ousmane Dembele will miss Paris St Germain's game against Lille on Friday after being granted "a period of rest" by his club. The Ballon d'Or winner has been sparingly used since returning from his World Cup exploits with France, playing no more than 45 minutes in any of PSG's first three games of the season.
Ousmane Dembele is set to miss the upcoming Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) match against Lille due to a period of rest granted by his club. The Ballon d'Or winner has been limited to brief appearances in PSG's first three league games this season, with no more than 45 minutes on the field. Dembele made his first start of the campaign against Rennes, coming on as a substitute, only to be substituted himself at halftime.
The club has officially confirmed that Dembele will take this time off and return to training with the team on Monday. Despite scoring 35 goals and 20 in the past two seasons, PSG's recent match against Rennes ended in a 2-2 draw, showcasing Dembele's impact, as his teammate Ferran Torres scored the goals that secured the victory.
The PSG team currently trails Lille by two points in the league standings, having lost to Angers in their opening game of the season.
