PSG forward Ousmane Dembélé and defender Nuno Mendes will not be available for the upcoming Ligue 1 match against Le Mans. The coaching staff, led by Luis Enrique, has opted to give both players additional recovery time following their international commitments in the Nations League.
The duo is expected to return to training after the league fixture, focusing their preparation on the crucial Champions League encounter against Manchester City on October 14.
This marks the second time this season that Dembélé has been granted an extended break, having missed the match against Lille for the same reason. So far, the Frenchman has recorded two goals and four assists in seven appearances, while Mendes has featured in five games.
