Remains out Dembele (calf) is training individually and remains out for the time being, the club announced.

Impact Dembele has returned to individual training but remains sidelined for now as he continues to recover from his calf injury. The Ballon d'Or winner has battled recurring muscle issues throughout the season, and the staff is in no rush to gamble with their top weapon ahead of a critical stretch in the coming months. Until he is fully cleared, Desire Doue, Kang-In Lee and Goncalo Ramos stand as the main attacking options to fill the striker role for PSG.

PSG coach Luis Enrique must decide whether to protect lead or attack against Monaco

Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique may be unsure how to approach the second leg of the Champions League playoff against Monaco on Wednesday

4 DAYS AGO • Associated Press

Won't be available Wednesday Dembele (calf) resumed individual training but won't be an option for Wednesday's second leg against Monaco in the Champions League, according to the club.

Impact Dembele picked up a calf injury against Rennes and was pulled early as a precaution in last week's first leg against Monaco in the Champions League. The Ballon d'Or winner was held out of the weekend clash with Metz to manage the issue and rest, but Wednesday's return leg against Monaco comes too soon for the forward to make his comeback. He'll aim to ramp up his workload over the next few days as he targets a return for upcoming fixtures, while Desire Doue, Kang-In Lee or Goncalo Ramos are in the mix to lead the line against the Diagonale.

Impact Dembele picked up a calf injury in the clash against Rennes, and it forced him to exit early in Tuesday's first leg against Monaco in the Champions League. The Ballon d'Or winner will go through additional testing, but initial feedback around the club has been encouraging. Still, he is likely looking at a minimum 10 days recovery window, which leaves his status for Wednesday's return leg against the Diagonale up in the air. If he is ruled out, Desire Doue, Kang-In Lee or Goncalo Ramos are in line to take on expanded responsibilities in the frontline for the Parisians.

Ousmane Dembélé comes off in first half of PSG's 3-2 win against Monaco in Champions League playoffs

Paris Saint-Germain forward Ousmane Dembélé’s frustrating season continued when he came off during the first half of the Champions League playoff against Monaco

FEBRUARY 17 • Associated Press

What happened to Ousmane Dembele and why was he subbed off by PSG vs Monaco in the Champions League? Ousmane Dembele needed to be subbed off in the first half of the game between Monaco and PSG for the UEFA Champions League KO phase.

FEBRUARY 17 • BOLAVIP.COM

Subs off early Tuesday Dembele left the field in the 27th minute of Tuesday's UCL clash with Monaco as he was not fully healthy after suffering a calf issue during the week.

Impact Dembele was apparently ready to start in the Champions League matchup, but he was replaced by Desire Doue in the first half. The stellar attacker walked off the pitch, but it remains unclear exactly how serious his injury is, making him a doubt again for upcoming contests. While Doue scored immediately after taking Dembele's place Tuesday, Goncalo Ramos is also available as a more natural center-forward option.

Finds starting XI Dembele (calf) is in the starting XI for Tuesday's match against Monaco.

Impact Dembele is not missing any time with his calf injury and is starting immediately, appearing to only be dealing with a minor injury despite doubts, potentially only playing mind games against a rival. The French forward only has two goal contributions in UCL play this season, far from his 14 last campaign.

FEBRUARY 17 • ROTOWIRE

Should start Tuesday Dembele (calf) should make the starting XI for Tuesday's Champions League clash against Monaco, according to Arthur Perrot from RMC Sport.

Impact Dembele picked up a minor calf issue in the last game against Rennes and was monitored during Monday's final training session at the Stade Louis II to determine his availability for Tuesday's Champions League showdown against Monaco. The Ballon d'Or winner reported positive sensations and is trending toward a spot in the starting XI against the Diagonale, unless the coaching staff opts to manage his workload and keep him fresh for next week's second leg. That said, with a league matchup against Metz coming up Saturday, Dembele is expected to get a window to recharge before the return leg, and if he were to miss out or begin on the bench Tuesday, Goncalo Ramos, Bradley Barcola or Kang-In Lee would be in line for increased minutes in the front line for the Parisians.

FEBRUARY 16 • Associated Press

Picks up discomfort in training Dembele complained of a pain in his leg during Monday's training session and could be a doubt for the midweek UCL clash with Monaco, Loic Tanzi of L'Equipe reports.

Impact Dembele played 74 minutes in the last league matchup versus Rennes, in which he scored a goal but apparently suffered some discomfort. While he may be able to recover in time for European action, his status may be a concern for the team, possibly limiting his involvement. In case the issue turns out to be serious, either Goncalo Ramos or Bradley Barcola will likely take on a bigger role up front.

Scores goal in defeat Dembele scored one goal to go with four shots (two on goal), seven crosses (two accurate) and six corners in Friday's 3-1 defeat versus Rennes.

Impact Dembele dragged PSG back within one in the 71st minute, steering a precise header past Brice Samba and handing the visitors a jolt of life just moments after Esteban Lepaul had doubled the lead. He was the Parisians' most aggressive outlet after the break, constantly probing as they pushed for an equalizer, but Rennes stayed compact and punished them again in transition. The French winger still filled up the stat sheet with four shots and three chances created, while setting season highs with seven crosses and six corners against his former club.
