Ousmane Dembélé and Marquinhos set to miss Lens visit | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain will be without either Ousmane Dembélé (27) or Marquinhos (30) for their visit to RC Lens on Saturday afternoon.

After missing the Coupe de France victory over Espaly during the week due to a viral infection, Dembélé will also be ruled out of the trip to the Stade Bollaert-Delelis. The winger is resting as he recuperates from his symptoms. Dembélé had been vital during PSG’s last league game when he scored both of the goals in the 2-1 victory over AS Saint-Étienne.

Marquinhos missed both the Saint-Étienne and Espaly fixtures after suffering from discomfort in his abductor. The captain will not be relied upon as he continues his individual training.

PSG will also be without the youngster Ibrahim Mbaye (16) who is being treated for a sprained ankle.

The league leaders will be hoping to maintain the seven-point gap between them and Olympique de Marseille in second. However, Lens had offered a tough challenge during their last meeting in the Coupe de France which was only settled on penalties after a 1-1 scoreline.
