Ousmane Dembélé hit the ischio-jamber during the all-round match*
The long-awaited return match between the PSG and Arsenal was held this Tuesday night, with a close 1-0 win in favour of the Parisians. Unfortunately, the encounter was marked by Ousmane Dembélé’s injury exit at the 70th minute, following a pain in the ischio-jamber.
PSG supporters held their breath when Dembélé left the terrain visibly embarrassed. However, according to the latest medical information, the club decided not to carry out immediate examinations. They prefer to observe the evolution of Dembélé’s sensations in the coming days. After a day off Wednesday, the attacker should resume training on Thursday afternoon.
If a tear was suspected, an MRI would have been performed without delay. That is not the case here. Several internal sources at the club are rather optimistic about the situation, suggesting that the injury may not be as serious as it initially seemed. So, Dembélé could be back on the field for the game back to Princes Park next Wednesday.
The list of guards appointed for the UNFP trophy
The UNFP unveiled the list of five guards named for the Best Caretaker Trophy of the season. Among them were Gianluigi Donnarumma, the PSG’s goalkeeper, who could win his third trophy with the club of the capital. He is in direct competition with Lucas Chevalier (LOSC), Geronimo Rulli (OM), Lucas Perri (OL) and Dorde Petrovic (Strasbourg).
As a reminder, the votes for these trophies are taken in each locker room in the presence of a UNFP representative, via computer software that centralizes the votes. Each voter has specific access that he or she can use only once and cannot vote for a member of his or her own club.
The traditional UNFP trophy ceremony will be held on May 11.
João Neves: “We must suffer for the team”
After PSG’s victory against Arsenal (1-0) at the Emirates Stadium, João Neves spoke at CBS Sports Golazo’s microphone. The Portuguese community wanted to keep their heads cold, aware that the qualification will be played during the match back to Paris.
He admitted to enjoying the physical games of the matches against English clubs, after having already faced Liverpool: “The Premier League is a very physical championship, I have often said. In this kind of encounter, you have to show the best of yourself: winning duels, running more, and above all, suffering for the team. »
He said that when he talks about “suffering,” he means working hard, making efforts, especially without a balloon. With 60% possession against Arsenal, João Neves savors this victory and promises that the PSG will give everything to achieve something great during the game back to the Parc des Princes.
