A player must take great care of themselves while playing football. If you sustain a long-term injury once, the risk of recurrence is very high. Therefore, if you want a long and quality career, you shouldn't take risks in certain positions. Of course, every player wants to win every time they play, but taking risks and losing the feeling of winning for an extended period is even worse when you get injured.

It's quite an impossible task for a player to be looking out to protect himself while playing at the same time because when playing he should be focused on making sure he is creating space, or getting the ball to the right places or making a pass and shouldn't be concerned about protecting himself from injuries or dangerous tackles from the opposing team because such incidents are quite unpredictable and not what a serious player should be concerned about while doing his job else people might think he is scared.

It is true that limiting play does not solve the problem, but this is the right solution. Limiting a player's playing time while recovering from an injury to maintain physical fitness. Giving him a way to protect himself on the field is not the right time if forced will have fatal consequences for Dembele.
Comparing a player is very easy because each player has a different character, I think if resting Dembele will quickly reduce the injury and can immediately play as usual with his best performance.

I would say it depends on how much the player plays. Some teams like PSG plays in three competitions, all to win, making it 50+ even 60+ games a season. In that time frame I would say limiting a players playing time matters a lot. Even when they play, it is not really important to keep him 90+ minutes every game if they are easily winning. They could always easily end up getting him out if they are leading by a large margin.

So if we assume they face someone at cup game, and they are ahead 3-0 on minute 65, why keep him? It would be a lot better and that should be the most important part. I think that's the easy part to handle and that is why it is going to be tough period to keep him in. Which is why limiting time when he can be taken out is very important.

Yes, you're right. It's a huge advantage for a player to play without fear. If your opponents realize you're playing with fear, they can put pressure on you much more easily. Yes, staying injury-free is important, but avoiding it isn't the only way to achieve this. Learning to defend effectively is best.

Limiting the game time of a player does not solve any problem instead it creates more problems with his fitness. The best thing to do is to advice him on how to protect himself on the pitch to minimize injuries.  Have you not wondered how Messi plays with minimal injuries, he is an attacker with defensive skills for his body. Dembele can learn some of those to help himself rather than being on bench or coming as substitute.

For a player like Ousmane Dembele who plays a free role and is mostly found on either flanks, it would be relatively unproductive for any coach to teach him how to protect himself on the pitch because he's mostly facing defenders who consider him a threat and would always pose a threat to him in return due to his pacey style, but substituting him in matches that are already won or reserving him on matches that do not really seem important would help a lot in curbing his injury problems.

[$weetne$$]

Limiting playing when injured I think it's normal, because players like Dembele are having a big influence on the club, and they still have many important matches to complete, so limiting playing for now will make the player recover optimally, but it's different with Messi even though he's injured he's played and his movement is limited but he's very threatening to the opponent's defense, so the risk of injury is not too high, and it all depends on the injury they experience if it's serious it's impossible for the coach to force the player to play.

Injury does affects almost every player and when they are they are not optimal, players that have so much influence based on their names usually gives off that threats to opponents whenever they are on the pitch, so even when they are not in their best form, they can still cause that threat to their opponents and given confidence to their team but the coaches does understand better and know how well they field the player so as not to add to the situation and same I believe Enrique will do with dembele.

Dembele is the latest player to receive a Balon Dor. Therefore, his presence on the pitch always provides a psychological advantage for Paris Saint-Germain. The opponent's extra precautions against him create open spaces for Paris Saint-Germain. That's why the manager will bring him on at the right time. Of course, his injury is a terrible thing for Paris Saint-Germain, but that's what happens in football. I hope he returns stronger than before.

[Mayor of ogba]

I don't know the techniques Ousmane Dembele will adopt when playing football so that he won't continue sustaining injury because the same injury crisis was the reason he couldn't perform well at Barcelona, and it almost ruined his football career if not that PSG signed him before he had a chance of reviving his football career and helped PSG to win the Champions League trophy that they have been trying to win for a long time. Ousmane Dembele will do better this season if he's consistent in playing football but he won't perform well this season if he continues being on and off the pitch.

Dembele will not stop sustaining injuries if the coach keeps playing him in all their matches when he is back from injury, Dembele is a injury player which he knows but he has managed him since he left Barcelona to PSG if the coach wants Dembele to stop being injured the best he could do is to avoid playing him in all the games especially in the league games where he knows that his team will win.

I believe Luis Enrique knows that Ousmane Dembele is prone to injury, and if he gives Ousmane Dembele less playing time, it will limit how Ousmane Dembele sustains injury, but he's not adopting the method because Ousmane Dembele is an important player to him, and since Ousmane Dembele is the best player of PSG, he's playing Ousmane Dembele often so that he can win personal awards.

Yes, that's right. Sometimes, without realizing it, the opponent makes a tackle. No matter how alert the player is, when it comes from behind or from the side, where the player isn't aware, it can be quite difficult to avoid. However, that doesn't mean the player can't avoid it or isn't alert. I'm sure he's also aware of his surroundings. It's just that the speed of his movements often makes incidents uncontrollable.

Currently, four top PSG players are suffering from serious injuries. All four are key players for PSG. Doué and Dembele have just recovered from injuries and are likely to be injured again. Hakimi also suffered an ankle sprain and will likely be back in action by the end of next month. And in the back line, Mended is nursing a knee injury and is unsure when he'll return. This is a disaster for PSG, especially in UCL matches.

If the coach limits Dembele's playing time then I think it will affect his individual qualities which can affect his overall performance. Dembele is also a crucial player for the team, and perhaps the coach needs to think about how to prevent him from getting injured, as we've seen, he's quite injury-prone. But I think playing Dembele solely for individual awards is naive for Luis Enrique, because what he needs is the collective team, and that's how a player will naturally achieve individual awards after successfully bringing his team to be more successful.

Good and bad news for PSG after several main players getting injury, but bad news looking for injury getting by Désiré Doué and Achraf Hakimi have absent around two months later and not playing for PSG until 7 to 9 matches. Actually several weeks later is busy schedule matches for PSG must playing at Champion League and play well at domestic league to make gap many points from AS Monaco or Marseille.

But have good news with Nuno Mendes and Dembele injury, due international break both of them have many time for recovering and possibility will return back at Champion league match next middle week against Tottenham Hotspur, in domestic league against Le Havre I don't think difficult for Luis Henrique get three points indeed make several rotation giving rest for main players after playing for international break match.

As an important player Luis Enrique already understands the risks but if he doesn't play much how can PSG continue to perform well without his presence unless in January PSG recruits a player who has almost the same potential as Dembele then Luis Enrique can rotate so as to reduce the risk of Dembele's injury, but actually that also doesn't guarantee that the player will be injury free if he is careless and doesn't pay attention to the opponent he can also get injured because of bad luck no one knows it all depends on fate and his caution in playing football.

Dembele needs to stay injury-free. A long-term injury would prevent him from competing in the World Cup at the end of the year. I'm sure missing the World Cup would be very upsetting for him. Therefore, he'll need to play with more restraint. It's unfortunate that a player who achieved so much success with Paris Saint-Germain and won one of the most prestigious awards last year has been injured this year.

Luis Enrique already understands very well about Dembele's condition and will take care to reduce the risk of injury so that it is not long-term. This season his performance with Paris Saint-Germain was very stable before he suffered an injury.

Actually that is what happens when you play so many games without getting a rest during the summer and went on to play the club World Cup, playing so many games without some rest actually results to things like this, it’s not only affecting Dembele, it’s affecting most of the players who have been playing regularly for their team during the Club World Cup Finals, I have been watching teams like Chelsea who played that World Cup Finals and they also have some few injuries, and Cole Palmer have not been the same after playing the Final and Levi Colwill have also been out injured, that is what happens when a player doesn’t get a rest in the summer and it was all football and football.

It would certainly be very disappointing if a player had to miss the World Cup due to injury, even though they were otherwise excellent. It would be a nightmare for the player.
As a coach, they should understand the condition of each player they have. Furthermore, they also have a team doctor who can advise them on whether the player is ready to play and has a low risk of re-injury.
Injuries are always a nightmare for players, with many players experiencing setbacks and some even having to retire early.

Judging from what you just said should we then say that might be the reason why Dembele is always on injury? Bro no one pray to have an injury it happens by mistake and most time it come from the opponent and no player will go into the pitch and say maybe because of he want to be careful to avoid getting injured he won't play what he wants to play all players will definitely play what they are supposed to play then if injured they only pray it doesn't get to a long term injury and even if it's a long term injury a good player can still adapt to his pattern of play no matter what.

[jostorres]

Mason Greenwood appears to have found the right place to rebuild his career, the individual awards he has received are proof that he has now become a key player with a major influence on the team. If Greenwood manages to maintain his performance in the long term, many other elite European clubs will certainly be interested in signing him in the future.

Meanwhile, the reason Manchester United let Greenwood go was because he became entangled in an off-field violence case, which led to him being suspended and having to face legal proceedings, not because of poor performance or bad management. To protect the club image, Manchester United had to release him, and fortunately Greenwood has managed to bounce back.

It was a smart decision because if they did let him play, it was even more magnified because United is a bigger club so that is a bigger problem for them. The whole "they are playing a rapist" would become a lot bigger issue for them since they are more media friendly and media talks about them all the time.

There aren't really that many people talking about Marseille, and even with that they ended up being getting a lot of lash back and a lot of trouble but that doesn't mean that we are going to end up with a lot more problem. This is why it's becoming a bigger issue and should not be something that would cause issue. This is why the best thing to move on this issue is that Marseille at least got slower and less problems while Greenwood is getting a lot better.

You are telling some kind of fantasy. It seems this injury was Dembélé's ninth at PSG. That's a lot in two and a half seasons, right? Moreover, while at PSG he has only suffered short-term injuries, in Barcelona he missed a astronomical number of games due to injuries. Of course, it would be great if he stayed injury-free, but if we're looking at the pattern, that's simply not realistic in his case.

And PSG is hoping to defend the champions league title this season so bad, I am just hoping they will be able to achieve that with all of these chains of injuries they are suffering.  Dembele just recovered but I do not see him strong enough to play so long, his fitness I doubt is optimal already, he may need some more time to recover completely so that he can be optimal and productive enough, but if he must play in this state, then his play time must be reduced.

Dembele knows very well that he has to be very careful because he is a very valuable player and this makes him indispensable both for the national team and for his club, so he knows this well and many players will save themselves the effort of playing at a high level to keep fit for the World Cup.
