Ousmane Dembele has returned to training with PSG after an injury absence at the weekend, putting him in line to face Arsenal on Wednesday.
L’Equipe report that Ousmane Dembele returned to training with Paris Saint-Germain on Monday, with growing optimism at the club that he’ll now be available to face Arsenal in midweek.
The winger took part in gym work on Sunday, before returning to full training with the first team on Monday, and he’s currently in line to be fit to start on Wednesday.
Dembele was initially listed as a doubt for PSG’s Champions League semi-final second leg against Arsenal, having struggled with a hamstring problem in the latter stages of the first leg.
The winger had to be withdrawn in the 70th minute of the match, and PSG didn’t include him in their squad to face RC Strasbourg over the weekend.
But manager Luis Enrique suggested afterwads that the problem was a minor one. Though he expressed some concern that Dembele could potentially miss the Arsenal second leg, it always seemed more likely he’d be back available.
As it stands, PSG are set to have their full squad available for the second leg, just as they did for the first, with no other injury problems of note.
Wednesday’s hosts hold a 1-0 advantage over Arsenal from the first leg, so they just need to avoid defeat to reach the Champions League final later this month.
