Fight against Messi? Team News: Dembele is expected to play in Miami International, but may not start

The Team reported that Dembele is expected to play in the 8th-finals of the Club World Cup against Miami International in Paris, but he may not start.

Paris Saint-Germain trained two days before the game. Despite the strong thunderstorm on Thursday night, training on Friday morning was conducted on cloudy days and temperatures around 30°C.

The whole team participated in group training, and only Jin Pengbei was absent again and stayed indoors to recover. Dembele has recovered since his left thigh quadriceps injury in early June and can participate in the competition.

Although there are still questions about whether Dembele will start against Miami International, he should have playing time. In preparation for this game, Paris Saint-Germain did not adjust its training plan, but only slightly shortened the training time to adapt to the high temperatures and ensure that the players can recover adequately. The match will start at noon local time, but the Mercedes-Benz Stadium is equipped with a retractable roof, which will be closed tomorrow, and the field has an air conditioning system, and the temperature will be kept at around 20°C during the match. In addition, the roof design of the stadium is inspired by the skylights of the Pantheon of Rome, and is equipped with a huge screen and 4,000 solar panels.

On the other hand, Miami International continues to prepare for the battle at its base in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where they will arrive in Atlanta today.
