Just after he came on the field, he came off the field, and Dembele s injury is again in doubt.

In the Champions League group match, Paris Saint-Germain lost 1-2 at home to Bayern Munich. What worried fans even more was that French forward Ousmane Dembélé left the field early due to injury in the 25th minute of the game, once again arousing widespread concern about his physical condition.

At that time, Dembele scored a goal in an attack, but it was canceled by VAR due to offside. Soon after, he was replaced by South Korean player Lee Gang-in, and his actual playing time was only more than 20 minutes. Footage from the scene showed that he was obviously covering the back of his right leg when leaving the field, and was suspected of experiencing discomfort in the Achilles tendon area.

This is not groundless. As early as November 1, after the French Ligue 1 victory over Nice 1-0, TV broadcasts captured Dembele complaining to his teammates: "My Achilles tendon hurts." Previously, he missed nearly two months of the game due to Achilles tendon injury and did not return until recently.

Although head coach Luis Enrique insisted at the pre-match press conference: "I never play players who are not ready" and said that Dembele "has been training normally for the past two weeks and is completely healthy", the continuous pain signals and the fact that he left the game early still make people doubt whether he has really fully recovered.

Injuries seem to be seriously affecting his competitive state. So far this season, the 2025 Ballon d'Or winner has only scored 3 goals in all competitions, and has scored no goals in the past 4 games-a far cry from the outside world's expectations for his explosive new season.

Now, with successive defeats in key Champions League games and continued sluggish personal status, Dembele not only faces the challenge of physical recovery, but also needs to regain his former striker sharpness as soon as possible. For Paris Saint-Germain, which aims to hit the Champions League, his health and performance are crucial.
