Paris Saint-Germain have been dealt another major injury blow as Desire Doue has been forced to withdraw from the France squad with a calf injury. Ousmane Dembele also had to come off at the start of the second half of Les Bleus' World Cup qualifying clash against Ukraine on Friday, after he picked up a hamstring injury which angered the French champions.
Ousmane Dembele's representatives have denied being part of a bizarre PR storm after a journalist revealed a "confidential" offer to secretly promote the Paris Saint-Germain attacker's Ballon d'Or chances online. The agency behind the offer has since blamed a "curious" 18-year-old intern and insisted that it was simply an exploratory email.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia narrowly avoided a serious injury during Paris Saint-Germain's 2-0 win over Lens, sustaining a calf issue that forced him off the pitch. Initial tests indicate no major damage, and he is expected to be fit for PSG's Champions League match against Atalanta. This comes as a relief to Luis Enrique, who's already contending with injuries to Ousmane Dembele and Desire Doue.
