<p>The French hero, still recovering from a hamstring injury sustained with France, remains a doubt for PSG’s crucial Club World Cup clash against Seattle Sounders. Although the winger has resumed training, coach Enrique remains cautious, and gave no absolute clarity on the winger's return. With Les Parisiens’ knockout hopes on the line, Dembele's involvement remains uncertain, potentially leaving him in the stands for a third straight game.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Enrique made it clear that no chances will be taken with Dembele, emphasising the need for caution with players returning from injury, especially during high-stakes tournament fixtures.</p><p>He told reporters: "He participated in training with the team this week and this Monday we'll see how he feels. I don't like to take risks with the players. Tomorrow we'll see, but not for sure..."</p><div data-name="DAZN" class="affiliate-button-container theme-1"><div class="affiliate-button"><img height="40" width="72" src="https://eu-images.contentstack.com/v3/assets/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5/blt2a657c326f3152f3/65709dfdfcc91a04075bd960/DAZN.png" class="logo" style="width: 72px; height: 40px;"><span class="affiliate-text">Watch every FIFA Club World Cup game free on DAZN</span></div><a href="https://prf.hn/click/camref:1100lfsPh/destination:https://www.dazn.com/welcome/fifa-club-world-cup" target="_blank" class="affiliate-button-link">Stream now</a></div>

WHAT LUIS ENRIQUE SAID

<p>The Champions League winners are under pressure after a shock loss to Botafogo in their Group B opener, one of the biggest upsets in the Club World Cup, now face elimination. With only the top two qualifying, victory against MLS side Sounders is crucial. Enrique is managing his squad carefully to ensure peak fitness in case of progression. Goncalo Ramos is expected to lead the line, while Dembele could be held back for later rounds.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>If the French-giants win, they advance to the knockout rounds, and Dembele could be unleashed in full fitness. If they lose, it could mean an early exit.</p>
