PSG’s injured Dembele to miss Strasbourg trip, eyeing return for Arsenal
PARIS: Paris St. Germain forward Ousmane Dembele will miss their Ligue 1 trip to Strasbourg with a hamstring strain, manager Luis Enrique said on Friday as the French side look to have him back for next week’s Champions League semifinal second leg against Arsenal. Dembele is PSG’s top scorer this season with 33 goals in all competitions and also netted the winner in their 1-0 first leg victory at Arsenal, but the 27-year-old came off in the 70th minute, going straight down the tunnel with an apparent injury. PSG confirmed he had a hamstring strain and that his “condition is progressing well,” with further assessments to be conducted in the coming days. “Tomorrow he won’t play, that’s for sure,” Luis Enrique told reporters, while also declining to confirm if he will rotate his squad with the Ligue 1 title already in the bag. “We’re going to do what we’ve been doing up to now, with the same idea.
