Doubts surround Ousmane Dembélé's participation in his team's match against Monaco in the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 playoff, after he was forced to leave the first leg due to pain in his left calf. He also missed the recent league match against Metz.

The team's coach, Luis Enrique, reassured the fans, confirming that the player's injury is "just a minor bruise." However, it was hindering the player from performing normally, which led the technical staff to decide not to risk him.

Although the tests did not reveal a serious injury, the coaching staff of Paris Saint-Germain adheres to a clear policy this season, which involves excluding any player who is not in full physical readiness, especially as the team enters the critical phase both domestically and in Europe.

Dembele is considered one of the key experienced players capable of making a difference in the forward line, making the decision to play him against Monaco dependent on his full recovery. This is in light of the Parisian club's efforts to avoid any setbacks that could sideline him for a longer period.

It is noted that the first leg match between Paris Saint-Germain and Monaco ended with the Parisian team winning 3-2 at the "Louis II" stadium.
