Paris Saint-Germain enters a crucial phase of the football season, as the team seeks to solidify its lead in the French league and prepare for upcoming major encounters, amidst the challenges of missing some key players in recent matches.

The condition of French star Ousmane Dembele remains a point of interest for the club's fans, after he suffered pain in his left calf muscle during the last match against Monaco, prompting the medical team to place him on a special training program in the gym over the next few days.

The club also revealed in its official medical report in preparation for the Metz match on Saturday, February 21, 2026, that Spanish player Fabian Ruiz has resumed individual training in preparation for rejoining the group, while young player Senny Mayolo continues to receive necessary treatment under the supervision of the medical staff, and Quentin Ndiyanto has begun his treatment protocol to recover from his injury.

Despite these absences, the team has a strong bench that allows it to compensate for the shortage, with coach Luis Enrique expected to give some young names the chance to prove their worth.

The technical management hopes that Dembele's injury is minor and does not exceed mere fatigue, to ensure his participation in the major matches awaiting the club in the Champions League in the coming weeks.
