PSG is preparing to face Flamengo, in a duel that will be played this Wednesday (17), in the Intercontinental final. A doubt in the French team is the presence of Ousmane Dembelé, one of the team’s main players and current FIFA Ballon d’Or winner. Will he play? Do you have an injury? THE Sporting News show.

Will Dembele play against Flamengo?
Dembelé’s presence in PSG’s starting lineup is Luis Enrique’s biggest doubt for the match. The striker suffered an injury to his left calf, recovered, but was injured again last week, this time due to a strong virus.
The problem caused him to be absent from PSG’s last two duels, against Athletic Bilbao in the Champions League (10th) and against Metz, in Ligue 1. If he doesn’t play, Doué should start. Brazilian defender Marquinhos, with a muscle injury, is doubtful.
Probable PSG lineup
Chevalier; Zaire-Emery, Zabarnyi (Marquinhos), Pacho and Nuno Mendes; João Neves, Vitinha and Fabiá Ruíz; Barcola, Kvaratskhelia and Doué (Dembelé). Technical: Luis Enrique.
