PARIS (AP) — Paris Saint-Germain forward Ousmane Dembélé went off injured in the first half against Barcelona in the Champions League on Tuesday.
The Ballon d’Or winner pulled up clutching the back of his left thigh following a run down the left in the 19th minute.
He signalled to the bench and asked to come off. Spain's World Cup-winning forward Ferran Torres replaced him.
PSG coach Luis Enrique used Dembélé sparingly in the French league last season and has already rested him twice in Ligue 1 during this campaign.
The 29-year-old Dembélé has struggled with injury setbacks during his career.
PSG was also missing star left back Nuno Mendes against Barca due to a thigh injury. ___
