Usman Dembele was injured again, forcing him to sit out. Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) naturally has no choice but to rely on Lee Kang-in.

PSG officially announced Dembele's injury status and absence on the 6th (Korea time). Dembele is said to have been feeling pain since the French Ligue 1 Nice match on the 2nd. His condition became more serious in the match against Bayern Munich on the 5th, and he was replaced by Lee Kang-in in 25 minutes.

In response, PSG said "Uthman Dembele suffered a left calf muscle injury"He's going to be treated in the next few weeks"

Currently, PSG has lost both Desiree Doue and Dembele, the core of the attack. On top of that, Ashraf Hakimi cannot play due to injury. It was against Munich, which lost a lot.

It's an opportunity for Lee Kang-in. Since it is a resource that can play in both attack and midfield, it is highly likely to play as a built-in main player for the time being. In France, the evaluation of Lee Kang-in is gradually improving. In particular, Lee Kang-in was the most prominent player since the substitution against Munich.

French L'Equipe is "It quickly incorporated into the economic trend, making a quick move," he said, giving Lee Kang-in a seven-point rating.




Le Parisien said "Lee Kang-in showed good performance. He gave Neves two crucial passes, one of which led to a goal, and gave him 6.5 points.

Dembele showed outstanding performance last season, but again this season he is showing his side as a `glass body.' So far, he has missed nearly half of PSG games in the 2025-2026 season due to injuries. On the other hand, Lee Kang-in, despite his recent injuries, has recovered quickly and is helping his power. If you continue to play, it is seen as a good opportunity to push Dembele out and leap to the starting lineup.

Lee Kang-in has one goal and one assist in 14 games in all tournaments this season. One goal came from the UEFA Super Cup.

Lee Kang-in needs to score in the league. He shows sharp shots in each game, but he doesn't lead to a goal. He is unfortunately out of the goal or blocked by the goalkeeper every time. There remains a challenge to improve goal-scoring skills. Other than that, he is showing excellent performance when he participates as a playmaker. It is steadily providing players with scoring opportunities. It is playing a key role in instilling creativity in the team's attacks with reverse transitions or forward passes in counterattacks or groundbreaking situations. As a set piece kicker, he also connects corner kicks and sharp crosses during free kicks.

Dembele, who was the ace last season, is in poor physical condition, so Lee Kang-in is expected to be relatively prominent this season. As there were even rumors of a transfer to the English Premier League (EPL), fans' expectations are growing whether Lee Kang-in will be able to dream of a better future based on his good performance.
