Paris Saint-Germain begin their Champions League title defense after winning the tournament for the first time in club history last season. Their opening match comes at home against Atalanta, but Luis Enrique’s side will be without two key attackers: Ousmane Dembele and Desire Doue.

Dembele suffered an injury on Friday, September 5, while playing for France in UEFA qualifying against Ukraine. The PSG forward had already been managing fitness concerns, which is why he started on the bench.

After coming on in the second half, he was forced to leave with discomfort. PSG later confirmed that he sustained a right hamstring injury and is expected to be sidelined for around six weeks.

Doue’s situation was similar. The young French forward also picked up a knock during the international break.
