PSG rests Ousmane Dembélé for match against Lille OSC

Summary

Ousmane Dembélé will not participate in Paris Saint-Germain's upcoming match against Lille OSC on Friday due to a decision by head coach Luis Enrique and the management. Dembélé, who started in PSG's opening-day draw against Stade Rennais, was substituted at halftime after struggling in the match. He will return to training on Monday. Ferran Torres is likely to receive a first start in Dembélé's absence, bolstered by recent signings Mika Godts and Maghnes Akliouche, which strengthen PSG's attacking options this season.
