Ousmane Dembélé Sidelined with Punctured Eardrum Before PSG Clash
In a bizarre turn of events, Paris Saint-Germain winger Ousmane Dembélé was forced to withdraw from the squad to face Montpellier HSC on Saturday after suffering a punctured eardrum just hours before kickoff.
According to reports from Actu.fr, the 26-year-old French international traveled with the PSG squad to Montpellier in the morning but soon complained of acute pain in his ear upon arrival. The club’s medical staff wasted no time and quickly contacted emergency services rather than attempting to treat Dembélé themselves.
