Overview
- PSG disclosed Thursday that Ousmane Dembélé and Nuno Mendes will not play the Ligue 1 home match against Le Mans on Saturday, October 10.
- The club announced on its official X account that Dembélé will return to training on October 10 and Mendes on October 11.
- PSG said the rests were taken in agreement with coach Luis Enrique and the sporting direction as part of a planned workload measure.
- Both players logged extensive minutes for their national teams during the international window, and Dembélé has already been specifically rested once this season and carries a recent history of muscle problems.
- The absences force short-term selection changes for the Parc des Princes match and reflect PSG’s wider fitness-management approach as the team copes with a busy schedule and sits sixth in Ligue 1 with eight points.
