PSG Get Bad News Before Facing Tottenham in Champions League

The marquee match PSG have coming out of the international break will be their UEFA Champions League match against Tottenham Hotspur, a rematch of the UEFA Super Cup from August, when the Parisians came from behind to win.

Nonetheless, the capital club will be missing a few players from that encounter due to injury. PSG won’t have Achraf Hakimi, who will be out for a few weeks after being injured in the Champions League loss to Bayern Munich.

While the absence of Hakimi for the match against Tottenham was expected, other players will also be unavailable to manager Luis Enrique.

After going injury-free during the extended 2024-2025 season, PSG have already faced several setbacks early in the 2025-2026 campaign. Désiré Doué and Ousmane Dembélé have both been sidelined twice.

At the same time, Hakimi and Nuno Mendes had to leave the field injured in the November 4 Champions League clash against Bayern Munich, Matchday 4 of the league phase.

Return dates remain unclear, but Luis Enrique has made it clear he will not rush any comebacks, as he explained after the match against the Bavarians, according to Le Parisien.

The Parisian daily reports that for PSG’s home match against Tottenham at the Parc des Princes on November 26, the outlook is negative for Mendes and Dembélé.

“Upon further investigation, it appears the Spanish coach will modify the recovery process for injured players, making the comebacks of Dembélé and Mendes even more enigmatic and uncertain,” the outlet noted.
