Update:

PSG forward Ousmane Dembélé was withdrawn from the pitch just 27 minutes into his team’s Champions League playoff first leg against AS Monaco with a suspected injury.

He was replaced by Désiré Doué, who scored just moments after coming onto the field to make the score 1-2 against a Monaco side that had surprised the European Cup holders with a blistering start to the game. Folarin Balogun had scored two to put his side ahead.

As for the injury to the PSG forward, we are not sure at this time the extent of the injury, although it is believed to be the same hamstring issue that affected him earlier in the season.
