Moussa Dembélé, the forward for French club Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), has been injured and is out indefinitely.
Dembélé suffered an injury in training on Tuesday that required surgery to repair his Achilles tendon. The Frenchman was reportedly feeling pain during training but did not report it to his team-mates or coaches. As a result, he played through the pain and scored two goals against Rennes on Wednesday night.
However, after the match, PSG announced that Dembélé would be out for "a few weeks" with the injury. The club also stated that the player had undergone surgery and was currently recovering from the procedure.
Dembélé has been one of the standout players for PSG this season,Campeonato Brasileiro Glamour scoring nine goals and providing five assists in 12 games. His absence could have significant implications for the club's chances of winning the Ligue 1 title and the Champions League.
The injury comes at a critical time for PSG, who are looking to defend their Ligue 1 title and compete for the UEFA Champions League. With Dembélé out, other forwards such as Kylian Mbappé and Neymar Jr will need to step up and provide more support for the team.
In addition to the loss of Dembélé, PSG also lost another key player on Thursday when midfielder Marco Verratti underwent surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee. The Italian international is expected to miss several months of action.
Despite these setbacks, PSG remains one of the top teams in Europe and is likely to continue competing for major titles throughout the rest of the season. However, the injuries to Dembélé and Verratti could make it more difficult for them to achieve their goals.
