"Foot Mercato" site revealed escalating tension inside Paris Saint-Germain between French star Ousmane Dembélé and head coach Luis Enrique, due to the way the player has been utilized following his recovery from physical issues.

According to the same source, Dembélé, who recently overcame his injuries, does not understand the continued reliance by the coaching staff on using him as a substitute, as he believes he needs to start matches to regain rhythm and confidence, while Luis Enrique and his staff think the player is not yet fully ready to participate as a starter.

The report pointed out that Dembélé’s return to the field was gradual after a long absence due to a hamstring injury, followed by a health setback, which reflected on his performance with clear flashes of skill and problems in the final touch, despite his contribution to the team’s Intercontinental Cup victory.

The site explained that the French international is dissatisfied with the cautious approach adopted by the coaching staff, considering that starting from the beginning has become necessary, which led to meetings inside the club involving Dembélé and his close associates with the management, indicating that the disagreement is beginning to take a serious turn.

The report confirmed that Dembélé complies with all instructions during training, but that was not enough to secure a starting opportunity, contributing to a state of discomfort within the club’s corridors, amid anticipation for how the situation will develop in the coming period.
