For the most part, actual “Team News” items have been few and far between during this club Club World Cup. Or at least for the select games that we preview here. Almost all of the teams in the field have been able to avoid significant injury and/or suspension issues. However, Sunday’s headliner fixture is a match that includes a couple of significant injury concerns in Ousmane Dembele for Paris Saint-Germain and Ian Fray for Inter Miami CF.

Team News for Both Sides
Dembele has yet to feature at the Club World Cup, due to a hamstring injury. He is expected to miss out again here, but he’s the only injury concern for Les Parisiens.
Shifting gears to Miami, Ian Fray is a doubtful, due to the left adductor strain that he suffered during the second match of the tournament.
Meanwhile Drake Callender and Gonzalo Lujan remain sidelined, giving the Herons some major selection headaches in the back.
