Paris Saint-Germain is grappling with several injury concerns as they prepare to face RC Lens on Sunday afternoon.
Key players Ousmane Dembélé and Désiré Doué will be unavailable for the upcoming match. Both sustained injuries while on international duty with France. Dembélé is expected to be sidelined for six weeks, while Doué might return by the end of the month, but neither will feature against Lens. In their absence, Goncalo Ramos is anticipated to join PSG`s starting XI. Ibrahim Mbaye could also benefit from the rotation, as manager Luis Enrique is expected to rest some vital players ahead of the UEFA Champions League commencement next week.
Midfielder Fabián Ruiz, who was initially considered doubtful, might make a surprise start. He was granted time off by Spain during the recent international break to recover from a minor injury and missed most of this week`s training. However, his participation in Saturday`s session suggests he could be fit enough to play.
