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?

When it is time for watching Barcelona against PSG or PSG against Chelsea, players are getting injured. I just found out today that Gavi, Balde, and De Jong will be out of the Barcelona squad, but we don?t know how long they will be out of the Barcelona squad, perhaps a month or some weeks. I don?t think the absence of some Barcelona players will have a major impact on their performance, since Gerard Martín will replace Balde at left back.

However, the absence of Dembele and Désiré Doué will have an impact on PSG's games, the attack will be less effective than predicted. If Dembele and Désiré Doué remain unavailable even after the game, I will be less confident of how well they can defeat Atalanta, Barcelona, or Leverkusen. Some people have been hoping for Barcelona to face PSG since last season, and now many players will miss the game.

Yes, it's normal for players to get injured and not be able to perform at their best in the competitions that exist. It happens, it's part of the game, unfortunately. I think it's also due to this damned Champions League. They play so many matches and, above all, they pit the strongest teams against each other right from the start. I don't like it.
