PSG Hit By Injuries Ahead Of Champions League Round Of 16 Face-Off With Chelsea

French league leader Paris Saint-Germain will be without injured star forward Ousmane Dembélé for Saturday’s trip to Le Havre.

PSG said in a statement on Friday that the Ballon d’Or winner remains sidelined after suffering a calf injury and is training on his own. It’s unclear whether Dembélé will recover in time for the title holder’s clash with Chelsea next month in the Champions League round of 16.

The midfielder Senny Mayulu, who is continuing his individual training sessions, will also be missing against Le Havre.

The club has a two-point lead over Lens in the French league after 23 rounds.
