Dembele breaks his injury record

Ousmane Dembélé's season with Paris Saint-Germain appears to have gotten off to a physically challenging start, with the French winger missing more matches this season than in his first two seasons with the club . According to Stats du Foot , the upcoming match against Monaco will be Dembélé's 13th absence this season, a record since joining PSG. This surpasses his 11 absences in the 2023/24 season and 12 in the 2024/25 season, mostly due to injuries . Dembélé suffered a calf injury last week during the Monaco game and is expected to return to action soon after recovering. He was a frequently injured player at his former club Barcelona before joining PSG, where he achieved glory by winning the Champions League title and subsequently the Ballon d'Or for the first time in his career.
