I have bad news for PSG fans...
Two important names are absent for many weeks. They can still handle the Ligue 1 easily but the real problem is the Champions League for them.
The
Atalanta (H) and
Barcelona (A) games are likely to be a miss for both of them. Dembele is doubtful for even the third fixture then which is against
Leverkusen (A).
Maybe another problematic start for PSG in league phase or not?
I understand how important these players are to the PSG team, but as a big team, they should have squad depth in case of such injuries that will take some key players out for a very long period of time.
If PSG can’t cope like this for a while, it means PSG can’t win the Champions League this season because injuries will come and it will be too late for them; I expected PSG to have signed more players in the just concluded transfer market.
PSG should defeat Atalanta irrespective of the injury record they have everything timeshares.
Even though these are very important players and replacing them will be quite difficult to make due to the impact that they have on the team base on their individual performance, but I don't think that the absence of these players will really show in the team because PSG is one team that has top players each one looking for a way to be a regular on the starting lineup.
These injuries will even give others opportunities which has not been given enough playing time the to show what they have so I don't see PSG under performing due to these injuries.
