Paris Saint-Germain Rearranges Its Attack After Injuries to Dembélé and Doi
Paris Saint-Germain faces a new challenge in its attack, following the confirmed absence of the duo Ousmane Dembélé and Désiré Doi due to injury, which forces coach Luis Enrique to rearrange his attacking options without resorting to radical changes.
Dembélé and Doi were injured while playing for the French national team and will miss the classic match against Marseille on September 21, in addition to the team's two matches in the Champions League against Atalanta on September 17 and Barcelona on October 1.
Enrique is expected to rely on Bradley Barcola to return to the starting lineup, leaving only the striker position to fill, which makes Gonzalo Ramos the natural choice.
Although Ramos's style differs from Dembélé's, as he lacks speed and depth play, he is considered a top-class penalty area striker, having scored 20 goals and provided 6 assists in 49 matches since the beginning of last season, despite starting in only 18 matches.
In light of the absences, both Kylian Mbappé and Lee Kang-in may get a chance for more playing time, in a real test of the strength of Paris's bench this season, especially with the pressure of matches both domestically and continentally.
