Ousmane Dembélé is anticipated to make his initial start of the FIFA Club World Cup when Paris Saint-Germain face off against Bayern Munich on Saturday.
Dembélé sustained an injury while on international duty with France at the beginning of June, which caused him to miss all of PSG`s group stage matches in the tournament. Although he returned to play against Inter Miami in the Round of 16, manager Luis Enrique opted not to include the French forward in the starting eleven.
The former Barcelona attacker is predicted to lead the forward line against the reigning Bundesliga champions. It is speculated that Désiré Doué might be the player dropping out of the lineup for PSG. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is projected to occupy the left flank, while Bradley Barcola is expected on the right. Luis Enrique reportedly has a full squad available with no new injury concerns.
