Ousmane Dembele and Marquinhos are in danger to face Espaly FC

Ahead of the match against Espaly FC, possible significant absences are anticipated. Ousmane Dembele and Marquinhos due to physical problems.

The French player could rest due to a viral syndrome and the club confirmed that he will rest during training on January 14, as we can see on the official PSG website.

Meanwhile, Marquinhos continues to recover from discomfort in the adductor, which kept him out of the last match against Saint-Etienne.

This will leave the great opportunity for Luis Enrique’s squad to obtain an important rotation and the players who see less minutes, such as Lucas Beraldo and Desire Doue, can be starters in this match.
