The Parisian defender, Achraf Hakimi, judges that Ousmane Dembélé is perfectly “replaceable” within the Ile-de-France team.
For having lacked commitment to the collective, Ousmane Dembélé was removed from the PSG pro group. Tuesday evening, he will not be part of the opposition against Arsenal in the Champions League. And the date of his return is not yet known.
Can Paris do without the international tricolor? Luis Enrique judges yes. And that’s also what Achraf Hakimi, the full-back of the French champions, thinks. When asked about his partner, the Moroccan made it clear that it was not a huge loss.
Dembélé “not irreplaceable”
“We have a lot of players in the group who are capable of replacing him”he declared during an intervention on Canal+ this Wednesday. The main interested party will appreciate it.
So who to replace the former Barcelona player in the Parisian eleven? Hakimi’s response at a press conference:
“I don’t know what the coach’s plan will be to play this Tuesday. But whether Ousmane plays or not, other players will be able to take over. We know that the most important thing in this PSG is the collective. We are a united collective and we know that Ousmane Dembélé gives his best for the team. »
The former Inter player then concluded by indicating that this year’s PSG is better able to overcome the absences of one or two individuals. “I think this year’s PSG is a continuation of last year’s. There is a union between the players, a great collective present in every match. This is the strong point of this team and I think we will see it again. »
