PSG forward Dembélé replaced in 1st half of Champions League game against Bayern Munich

By Canadian Press on November 4, 2025.

PARIS (AP) — Ousmane Dembélé came off midway through the first half of Paris Saint-Germain’s home game against Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Tuesday.

Moments after having a goal ruled out for offside following a video check, the Ballon d’Or winner was replaced by Kang-in Lee in the 25th minute. It was not immediately certain whether he was injured again.

Dembélé only recently returned following a right hamstring injury sustained while playing for France in September.

He thought he had scored in the 22nd minute when he stooped to chest in Fabián Ruiz’s low cross from the left, but referee Maurizio Mariani took little time to chalk it off.

Coach Luis Enrique gave assurances on the eve of the game that Dembélé was fit to play.

PSG was also without forward Désiré Doué with a right thigh injury.
